Ingredients
- 1 cup 8 oz tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour divided
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup lemon juice
- powdered sugar for dusting, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Line a 13x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper or spray very well with nonstick cooking spray.
- Combine the melted butter and vanilla in a medium bowl. Add 2 1/4 cups of the flour, the powdered sugar, and the salt and mix to combine.
- Press into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20 minutes.
- While the crust is baking, combine the sugar and the lemon zest in a bowl. Use your fingers to rub the zest into the sugar.
- Once combined, add the remaining cup of flour, the eggs, and the lemon juice. Mix to combine.
- Carefully pour the lemon mixture into the warm crust. Return to the oven and bake until the edges are set and the middle is just barely jiggly, about 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let the bars sit until they come to room temperature, 1-2 hours, then refrigerate until chilled, at least another 2 hours.
- When chilled, dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and cut into bars.
