Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream together butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 2 cups flour.
- When the mixture is crumbly, press it into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Press dough out evenly so that it has a uniform height throughout the pan. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, and remove from the oven.
- In a bowl, mix together eggs, 3 cups granulated sugar, lemon juice, 1 cup flour, vanilla, and salt.
- Mix until the filling is uniform in texture, and pour over the cooked shortbread cookie crust.
- Bake for an additional 30 to 35 minutes. Allow this to cool to room temperature before dusting with powdered sugar.
- Be sure to refrigerate these cookies when not being served.
Notes
- How do you know when lemon bars are done?
- They are done when the filling is no longer loose or jiggly. The lemon layer will start to brown on the edges when it is done cooking.
