Pink Lemonade Cookie Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.
• In large bowl, mix all cookie ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Onto cookie sheet, drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls.
• Bake 9 to 11 minutes or just until edges begin to brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• In medium bowl, mix 1/4 cup butter, the powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons lemonade concentrate with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Add remaining 1 tablespoon concentrate, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed for desired consistency. Frost cookies.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease bottom only of 15x10x1-inch pan with shortening. In large bowl, beat butter, 2/3 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon peel, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 2 drops food color with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour until well blended. Press in pan, using floured fingers (flour fingers several times to prevent sticking).
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until light golden brown.
• In medium bowl, mix all glaze ingredients until smooth and spreadable. Pour glaze over warm bars; spread evenly (glaze will be very thin). Cool completely, about 1 hour. Bars are very tender; remove from pan using very flat-edged metal pancake turner. For bars, cut into 8 rows by 8 rows.

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 13 X 9 inch baking pan with foil, letting foil extend above pan at both ends. Coat foil with nonstick spray.
• 2. Crust: Beat butter, flour and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl with mixer until blended (mixture will be crumbly). Press over bottom of pan. Bake 15 minutes, or until light golden. Leave oven on.
• 3. Meanwhile, make Topping: In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, lemon zest and juice, flour and baking powder with mixer to combine. Add about 5 drops food color and beat until topping is pink. Pour over the hot crust.
• 4. Add your washed, drained and dried raspberries on top.
• 5. Bake 25 to 30 minutes until top is golden and topping has set. Cool in pan on a wire rack.
• 6. Lift foil by ends to cutting board. Cut in 6 rows lengthwise, 8 crosswise to make 48 bars. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
• 7. Storage tip: Refrigerate airtight with wax paper between layers up to 1 week, or freeze up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
