Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F.
2 In medium bowl mix butter, 2 cups of the flour and 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar. Press into the bottom of ungreased 13x9-inch pan.
3 Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until center is set and edges just begin to brown.
4 In medium bowl, mix remaining 1/4 cup flour and remaining 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar with whisk. Add eggs, lemon peel and lemon juice; stir with whisk until well combined. Pour over partially baked crust.
5 Bake 18 to 22 minutes longer or until center is set and edges are golden brown. The bars will firm up as they cool. Cool 1 hour. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. For bars, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows.

Excellent recipe. I made some changes that work!!! Make the crust per recipe; Increase remaining ingredients by 50% which makes a nice thick filling that complements the crust; Be sure to use the 13x9 pan-glass works better, at least at high altitudes; Increase final baking time to 25 min. Optional for lemon lovers: add extra teaspoon of grated lemon.

I made these and they were great. The second time I made them, I just used the rolls sugar cookie dough and just made the lemon bar filling and bake. Make sure you prebake your cookie dough like it stated in the directions.
