Lemon Squares Ingredients

Crust:

2 cups all-purpose flour

5 Tbsp packed light brown sugar

2 sticks butter, melted

Filling:

4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 Tablespoons lemon zest
1 Tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Crust: mix flour and light brown sugar, add melted butter into flour mixture and mix well. Press crust mixture into an ungreased 13 X 9 glass baking dish lined with parchment paper as evenly as possible; press down with a spatula to create a packed surface. Place crust in middle of oven and bake until golden, about 15- 20 minutes.
To make lemon topping, beat eggs in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until well blended. Add vanilla extract and 3/4 cup of powdered sugar; mix well. Add lemon juice and remaining powdered sugar; mix until powdered sugar is completely dissolved and then add zest.
Remove crust from oven once golden brown and reduce oven temperature to 300°F.
Immediately pour lemon mixture over hot crust. Bake for 30-45 minutes; cool, and cut into 24 bars.
Enjoy!
