How to Make Olde Vienna Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- **Make the Shortbread Crust:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a crumbly dough forms. Press evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- **Make the Walnut Filling:** In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs until light and frothy. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, beating until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup chopped walnuts, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ cup chopped walnuts.
- Spread the walnut filling evenly over the baked shortbread crust.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden.
- **Make the Lemon Glaze:** While the bars are cooling, whisk together ½ cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Add more lemon juice or powdered sugar to reach your desired consistency.
- Once the bars are completely cool, pour the glaze over the top and let it set before cutting into bars.
