Ingredients
- CRUST:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup butter 2 sticks, softened
- 2 cups flour
- FILLING:
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 egg
- 1/3 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a 9"x13" pan with foil and spray with non stick cooking spray (this make removing from the pan and cutting SO much easier).
- For the crust - cream the powdered sugar and softened butter together. Slowly add flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until fully integrated. The dough will be thick.
- Dump dough into prepared pan and spread evenly along the bottom of the pan. The dough isn't very sticky, so I just used my fingers to spread the dough out.
- Bake in 350 F oven for 15-20. When it starts to brown ever so slightly on the edges, you know its done. Do not let the top brown at all.
- While the crust is baking, mix together the filling.
- Mix granulated sugar, eggs, lemon juice and extract together with electric mixer. Sprinkle baking powder into filling and mix until just blended (don't over mix).
- As soon as you remove the crust from the oven, pour the lemon filling on top of the crust.
- Bake for another 15-20 minutes. You will know this is done when the top is no longer "jiggly". Once the top starts to brown a little, its time to take it out.
- Let cool completely. Remove the Lemon Bars from the pan and cut into squares. These are best served within a day or two of baking.
Notes
- The crisp top, lemony center, and shortbread crust make these lemon bars to die for!
