Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup butter , softened
• 0.5 cups white sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Gather the ingredients.
2. 2 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. 3 To make the crust: Blend 2 cups flour, softened butter, and 1/2 cup sugar in a medium bowl until well combined.
4. 4 Press crust into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13-inch pan.
5. 5 Bake crust in the preheated oven until firm and golden, about 15 minutes.
6. 6 Meanwhile, make the filling: Whisk remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1/4 cup flour in a medium bowl. Whisk in eggs, then lemon juice until smooth.
7. 7 Pour filling over the baked crust.
8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Set the pan aside to cool completely; the bars will firm up as they cool.
9. 9 When cooled, cut bars into uniform squares.
