Lemon Bars

I don't know where you spent your time today, but here in Georgia it felt like spring. Not to warm not to cold just right. I sound like goldilocks...haha. It was so perfect out that I felt the need to plant some pansies, tulips, and a little bit of rosemary in a few delightful pots. I know it may sound kind of silly to some rosemary and spring but somehow it just seemed right. The aroma was practically blissful and with the air so fresh it truly seemed like summer won't be to far off. So, let's celebrate the beginning of spring with a sweet lemony treat.



Ingredients

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

4 eggs
1 1/2 cups white sugar
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 lemons, juiced ( for a little more tart add a half to a whole additional lemon to this recipe)



Directions

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
2.In a medium bowl, blend together softened butter, 2 cups flour and 1/2 cup sugar. Press into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan.
3.Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and golden. In another bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/12 cups sugar and 1/4 cup flour. Whisk in the eggs and lemon juice. Pour over the baked crust.
4.Bake for an additional 15 minutes in the preheated oven. The bars will firm up as they cool. found on allrecipes.com
