![]() Yesterday I made some great lemon bars. I'm glad I was planning on taking them to work, because from the time I made them, until I left for work this morning 1/4 of the 9-by-13 inch pan was gone. Oh my gosh, are these good. The step by step is on my blog if you are interested. Lemon filling http://i42.tinypic.com/35bxtz4.jpg Fabulous crust. http://i43.tinypic.com/wi7jna.jpg Bar none, pun intended, these are the best lemon bars I've had. @@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format Classic Lemon Bars desserts For the crust vegetable oil for greasing 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter; cold and diced 2 cups all purpose flour 1/4 cup light brown sugar; packed 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar; more for garnish 1/4 teaspoon Salt For the filling 4 large eggs 2 egg yolks 2 cups granulated sugar 1/3 cup all purpose flour; sifted 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest 1 cup fresh lemon juice; from about 8 lemons Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Grease a 9-by-13 inch pan with vegetable oil and line with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides; grease the foil with oil. Pulse the butter, flour, both sugars and the salt in a food processor until the dough comes together, about 1 minute. Press evenly into the bottom and about 1/2 inch up the sides of the prepared pan, making sure there are no cracks. Bake until the crust is golden, about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, make the filling: Whisk the whole eggs and yolks, sugars and flour in a bowl until smooth. Whisk in the lemon zest and juice. Remove the crust from the oven and reduce the temperature to 300°F. Pour the filling over the warm crust and return to the oven. Bake until the filling is just set, 30 to 35 minutes. Let the bars cool in the pan on a rack, then refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours. Lift out of the pan using the foil and slice. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

OMG, I am trying so hard not to make these right now. lol Since the recipe calls for 2 egg yolks, I will have to make Forgotten Cookies with those 2egg whites, so when I make this I will be busy. I am trying to diet, gosh darnit. <saving this recipe> Becca |

Looks like enough lemon juice. I love lemon bars, but the recipes I've made have never been lemony enough for me. This one may do the trick! -- I love cooking with wine.

No problem. :-) Forgotten Cookies 2 egg whites, room temperature 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar 2/3 cup sugar pinch salt 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup chopped pecans 1 cup chocolate chips Preheat oven to 350°. Cover one baking sheet with parchment paper or use aluminum foil, sprayed with PAM. Beat egg whites until foamy, add cream of tartar. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until they hold stiff peaks. Mix in salt and vanilla. Stir in pecans and chocolate chips. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto the baking sheet. These cookies spread very little, so you can put them close together. Put cookies in the oven, then turn the oven off. Leave the cookies in the oven overnight with the door closed. They should be ready to eat in about 4-5 hours, though (don't ask me how I know). Becca |

This is a recipe I have cooked, in one way or another, since I was a teenager in high school. Some recipes use vanilla, some don't, some use cream of tartar, some don't. I have used mini-chocolate chips, I also used cinnamon chips, back when I could find them. They are easy to make and I always have the ingredients in the house. Becca |
