Luscious Lemon Bars

Luscious Lemon Bars

2-1/4 cup all-purpose flour divided
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup butter
4 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder

Mix 2 cups flour, powdered sugar and butter; press into a greased 13"x9" baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes; cool. Whisk eggs and lemon juice together. Sift sugar, remaining flour and baking powder; mix with egg mixture. Pour over baked crust and return to oven. Bake for an additional 25 minutes. Cool and cut into squares. Makes 16

I made these last night and broke of a piece to try. They taste so YUMMY!!!! I let them cool overnight and this morning I tried to cut them. I found that they aren't coming out of the baking pan as easily as I would have hoped. I've put them back into the oven and I'm going to cook a bit longer to see if that makes a difference. I'll be sure to update!!
