Lemon Bars

1 cup butter softened

1/2 cup white sugar

2 cups all purpose flour

4 eggs

1 1/2 cups white sugar

1/4 cup all purpose flour

2 lemons juiced

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a medium bowl, blend together softened butter, 2 cups flour and 1/2 cup sugar. Press into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan.
3. 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.
4. Bake for an additional 20 minutes in the preheated oven. The bars will firm up as they cool. Sprinkle with powder sugar.  After both pans have cooled, cut into uniform 2 inch squares and arrange in a checker board fashion.

I got this recipe from allrecipes.com We own a lemon tree and used fresh lemons.  Jesse enjoys fruit flavored desserts (I tend to like chocolate).
