How to Make Double Lemon Bars

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Combine all crust ingredients (see below) in a medium bowl. Mix until well combined.
Press the crust mixture into a greased 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch baking pan.
Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
Meanwhile, prepare the lemon filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together all filling ingredients (see below) until smooth.
Pour the lemon filling evenly over the hot, partially baked crust.
Bake for an additional 17-20 minutes, or until the top is light golden brown and the filling is set.
Let the lemon bars cool completely in the pan before sprinkling with powdered sugar.
Once completely cool, cut into bars and serve. For easier removal, line your pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the bars out.
