How to Store
Store leftover strawberry lemonade bars loosely covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The crust will soften if kept too long – it is best eaten the day it is prepared.
How to Freeze
Freeze your cookie bars by wrapping the bars individually and then freezing them for up to 1 month. Allow them to come up to room temperature for 30 minutes prior to serving or eating.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these light and tangy cookie bars with a cool glass of strawberry lemonade or a strawberry mojito!
