lemon pie
You can never go wrong with lemon pie! But have you ever tried the girl scout cookies lemonade? Oh my gosh!!! YUMMY!!
lemon tart hands down. You make a curd- which is like a custard with lots of lemon juice in it, then fill cooked pastry shells with it. Lemon curd slice is great too

The Williams-Sonoma Baking book has an awesome recipe for Lemon Bars (but it's copyrighted). Buy the book, it's well worth the money.
Lemon merengue is the BEST PIE EVER!!! It's not difficult to make, but you gotta be careful with the merengue. Make sure that the mixing bowl that you are using is as clean as possible! (If not, you will not get those peaks that you are looking for). Also, if you can get a small, handheld torch, get it! It makes all the difference.
