{My Favorite Lemon Bars}

I love how simple and fool proof this recipe is. They always turns out perfectly delicious.

For the crust:

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 Tbs lemon zest 
• 
  
• Filling:
• 
  
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 lemons, juiced
• 
  
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees 
• 
  
• In a medium bowl, blend together softened butter, 2 cups flour, 1/2 cup sugar and lemon zest. Press into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and golden. In another bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1/4 cup flour. Whisk in the eggs and lemon juice. Pour over the baked crust.
• Bake for an additional 20 minutes in the preheated oven. The bars will firm up as they cool.
