The Scoop
When life gives you lemons, make dessert!
These gooey lemon bars pair a buttery, golden crust with a yummy, tangy lemon filling that lands right between creamy and chewy.
Sweet, zesty, and ridiculously easy to love, they’re the kind of bake that disappears before you’ve even finished cutting the second row.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups white sugar, divided
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 eggs
- 2 lemons, juiced
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, blend the softened butter, 1/2 cup of white sugar, and 2 cups of flour.
- Press the butter mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13-inch pan.
- Bake the crust until firm and golden, about 15-20 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining sugar and remaining flour.
- Add the eggs and lemon juice and whisk to combine.
- Pour the lemon mixture over the baked crust.
- Bake until cooked through, about 20 minutes. The bars will firm up as they cool.
- Allow the bars to cool completely.
- Cut and serve.
