This is a really easy recipe that my mom made before the lemon bar 'rage' was on! Thick-skinned lemons work the best. I suggest using real butter and eggs, I've tried using eggbeaters--nowhere near as good!
Ingredients
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 cup butter , softened
- 4 eggs
- 1.5 cups white sugar
- 0.5 cups lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Instructions
-
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
2
Mix 2 cups of flour and confectioner's sugar together. Cut in the butter or margarine. Mix well until the dough resembles pie dough consistency. Press the dough into a 9x13 inch baking pan.
-
3
Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
-
4
Beat together eggs, sugar, 4 tablespoons flour, lemon juice and lemon rind for at least 1 minute. Pour the mixture over the baked crust.

5
Bake the bars another 20 minutes, or until the lemon topping has set. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar when cooled.

Danish Peppernut Christmas Cookies (Pebernodder)
These are deliciously tiny, somewhat time consuming to make (but totally worth it), eaten-by-the-handful Danish shortbread cookies. This recipe was given to me by a local grandmother at the annual Scandinavian Festival in Junction City, Oregon. Stored in an airtight container, they'll last close to two weeks.
