Step 1

Line an 8 x 8 inch (or 9" square pan) with foil or parchment paper. Set aside.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cut together the cold butter, all-purpose flour, and powdered sugar. Mixture may be crumbly. Press into bottom of prepared baking dish.

Step 4

Bake crust in oven for about 15 minutes.

Step 5

While crust is baking, make the lemon filling. Combine granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest.

Step 6

Remove crust from oven and immediately pour mixture over the baked crust. Return baking pan to oven for an additional 20 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.

Remove bars from oven. To make glaze, whisk together powdered sugar with lemon juice. Drizzle over warm bars. Cool completely then refrigerate for about 2 hours.
