How to make

STEP 1

Heat oven to 350°F.
STEP 2

Combine all crust ingredients in large bowl. Beat at low speed until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press mixture evenly onto bottom of ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake 20-22 minutes or until light brown; remove from oven.
STEP 3

Combine all filling ingredients in bowl. Beat at medium speed until well mixed. Pour lemon mixture evenly over hot, partially baked crust.
STEP 4

Continue baking 15-20 minutes or until filling is set and bars are light brown around edges. Cool completely.
STEP 5

Sprinkle bars with 1 teaspoon powdered sugar. Cut into bars.

Tip #1

For easy cutting, line pan with parchment paper, extending paper over edges of pan. Prepare bars as directed. Completely cool bars. Lift bars out of pan using paper ends; cut bars on cutting board.

Tip #2

This recipe was tested in a metal baking pan; if you use a glass or ceramic baking dish, you may need to increase bake time a few minutes more.
