Ronnie's Notes
Remember that lemon? The one that grew on my house plant lemon tree? And I made candied peel with the skin? And said to stay tuned to what I did with the juice? Well, here it is. Lemon Bars! You can make them with any old lemon of course.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Whisk the flour and confectioners’ sugar in a bowl until thoroughly blended.
Work the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture is crumbly (if you use a food processor, pulse the ingredients 15-18 times).
Press the crumbs onto the bottom of a 9"x13" baking pan.
Bake for or until the dough has browned lightly.
Remove the pan from the oven.
Combine the eggs, sugar, lemon juice, flour and baking powder in a bowl.
Beat the ingredients with a hand mixer or electric mixer set at medium speed for or until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Pour the mixture over the partially baked dough.
Bake for or until the surface has browned lightly.
Let cool in the pan.
Cut the cookies into 2-inch squares.
