Sunny Lemon Bars

Summer is made for berry and citrus desserts! This is easy to make and always a hit when I make it. I found this recipe on Betty Crocker a few years back. I've seen a few renditions of it before, but this is the easiest one I've found thus far.

Sunny Lemon Bars
Ingredients:
Crust
1 pouch sugar cookie mix (I use the Betty Crocker brand)
1/2 c butter (softened)
Filling
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1 1/2 c granulated sugar (that's the regular sugar ;))
1/4 c flour
1 T grated lemon peal
1/4 c lemon juice
2 T powdered sugar


Directions:
Heat over to 350
Beat crust ingredients on low until crumbly
In 13x9 pan, press mix evenly
Bake 20 minutes - then cool for 10 minutes


Stir filling ingredients except lemon juice
Stir in lemon juice
Pour over crust
Bake 25-30 minutes until top is light golden brown
Cool for 1 hour
Sprinkle with powdered sugar


I'm honestly not sure why it tells you to stir all of the filling ingredients except lemon juice at first. I believe once I forgot that I wasn't supposed to add it right away, and I think it turned out fine. I'm sure the almighty cooking powers know better than I.
