lemon bars for the win

I find myself baking at least once a week now that I'm home every day.  My tried and true cookies were getting boring and annoying so I opened my cookbook looking for a recipe that didn't require a trip to the store.  And with that, lemon bars for the win.  What could be better at the end of a sticky, sweaty summer day?

These bars are so simple and so delicious.  Make them.  Unless you have an aversion to lemon (ahem, Jackie) you won't regret it.  And if you do have an aversion to lemon...well, it sucks to be you.

Lemon Bars

2 c. flour

1 c. butter (I softened mine a bit)

1/2 c. powdered sugar

Topping:

4 eggs

2 c. sugar

6 T. lemon juice

4 T. flour

Mix flour, butter and powdered sugar with a fork until crumbly.  Spread in a 9 x 13 pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.  Beat eggs, lemon juice, sugar and flour until mixed.  Spread over top of baked layer and return to oven for another 25 minutes.  Take out and sprinkle with powdered sugar while hot.  Cool.  Cut into squares.
