How to Make Lemon Bar Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the lemon zest.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool completely in the pan.
- Meanwhile, prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Add more lemon juice if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Once the bars are completely cool, pour the glaze evenly over the top.
- Let the glaze set before cutting into squares.
