Bake-Sale Lemon Bars


ree

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup butter, softened

  • 2/3 cup confectioners' sugar

  • Bake 20-25 minutes or until lemon mixture is set and lightly browned. Cool completely on a wire rack. Dust with additional confectioners' sugar. Cut into bars. Refrigerate leftovers.

Test Kitchen tipsBottled lemon juice works here, but for the most lemony lemonness, squeeze your own, fresh. Better yet, zest that lemon before squeezing, then add 1 teaspoon of the grated peel to the filling. Line the pan with nonstick foil before baking, and the bars will come out easily when they're done. No cleanup needed!

Test Kitchen TipsYou can cut some of the sugar by making this recipe with natural peanut butter. Dark brown sugar contains more molasses than light or golden brown sugar. The types are generally interchangeable in recipes. But if you prefer a bolder flavor, choose dark brown sugar. These desserts are perfect for the devoted peanut butter lover in your life.
