Lemon Blossom Bars With Sugar Cookie Crust Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F
• Slice cookie dough as directed on package. Arrange slices in bottom of ungreased 13x9-inch glass pan. With lightly floured fingers, press dough evenly in pan. (Even though the cookie dough is cold/just out of the fridge, pressing it down is pretty easy. It'll take the whole roll to cover the 13x9 pan).
• Bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown.
• In large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, flour and baking powder; blend well. Blend together lemon juice, lemon extract and lemon zest. Add lemon mixture to egg-sugar mixture, and pour over warm crust.
• Bake at 350°F for an additional 20 to 30 minutes or until top is light golden brown. Cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar; cut into bars.

Steps:

• For the crust: Sift flour and powdered sugar together. Cut butter into the flour & sugar mixture. Pat firmly into a 9 x 13 pyrex dish. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. For the filling: Sift flour, sugar & baking powder together. Blend flour, sugar & baking powder mixture and all other filling ingredients in a blender. Pour over crust while still warm. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes more. Sprinkle with additional powdered sugar while warm. Cool and cut into squares.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the crust, cream the butter and sugar until light in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Combine the flour and salt and, with the mixer on low, add to the butter until just mixed. Dump the dough onto a well-floured board and gather into a ball. Flatten the dough with floured hands and press it into a 9 by 13 by 2-inch baking sheet, building up a 1/2-inch edge on all sides. Chill.
• Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes, until very lightly browned. Let cool on a wire rack. Leave the oven on.
• For the filling, whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and flour. Pour over the crust and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the filling is set. Let cool to room temperature.
• Cut into triangles and dust with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, stir cookie mix and 2 tablespoons flour. Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Press mixture in bottom of pan. Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
• Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix egg yolks, condensed milk, 1 tablespoon flour, the lemon peel and lemon juice with whisk. Pour over hot crust. Bake 18 to 20 minutes longer or until filling is set. Cool on cooling rack 1 hour. Cover; refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
• Sprinkle bars with powdered sugar. Cut into 6 rows by 4 rows. Store covered in refrigerator.
