Luscious Lemon Bars

I admit it, I'm really picky about lemon bars. 

I love lemon anything, but not all lemon bars are created equal! After years of searching, I finally found the perfect recipe.
{Shared with permission from my domestic goddess friend, Katie - who is an EXCELLENT cook.}

A single recipe fills a 9x13 inch pan. 

Crust:

• 1 cup softened butter
• 2 cups flour 
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Mix together & bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Filling:

• 4 whole eggs
• 2 cups sugar
• 4 tablespoons lemon juice {bottled is fine}

Combine filling ingredients with a mixer until sugar is dissolved. 

When crust is baked, add filling mixture. {Crust does not have to cool first.} Return to 350 degree oven & bake 30 minutes longer. 

Cut into squares after cooling & sprinkle with powdered sugar.
