Step 1

For the Crust:

Step 2

1. Line the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving about a 1 to 2 inch overhang on each side of the pan (you'll use the foil overhang to lift the baked squares out of the pan). Lightly spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 3

2. Mix the flour and sugar together in a small mixing bowl. Cut the butter into chunks; add butter to the flour mixture and cut in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

3. Press evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, building up about a 1/2-inch lip around the edges to hold in the filling.

Step 5

4. Bake at 350℉ for 20 minutes.

Step 6

For the Filling:

Step 7

1. Beat together the eggs, sugar, flour, and lemon juice with an electric mixer until well blended. With the mixer on low speed, add the lemon zest; beat until just blended.

Step 8

2. Spread the lemon mixture over the partially-baked crust.

Step 9

3. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes until set and the edges are lightly golden brown. Cool completely in the pan.

Step 10

4. When cooled, use the foil overhang to lift the bars from the pan. Place on a cutting board, peel the foil away from the edges.

Step 11

5. Dust the top with a coating of confectioners' sugar. Cut into small bars with a sharp knife.
