Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour and 1/2 cup powdered sugar. Add diced cold butter and blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press evenly into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden.
- In another bowl, whisk together eggs and granulated sugar. Add 1/4 cup flour, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the lemon filling over the baked crust. Return to oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes until set and slightly firm. Let cool completely.
- Cut into squares, dust with powdered sugar, and serve. Enjoy the colorful, cartoon-inspired treat!
Notes
- Store leftover lemon bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
- To keep the crust crispy, store uncovered or in a loosely covered container.
- You can warm them slightly in the microwave before serving to refresh their texture.
