Lemon Bars

Ingredients

  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Honey
  • 1/4 cup Lemon Juice
  • 3 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Dried Lemon Peel
  • Cooking Spray

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F
  • Spray the baking dish with cooking spray
  • Press the cookie dough into the baking dish so that it covers the bottom of the baking dish
  • Try to push it up the sides a bit (1/4") if you can, but don't make the dough too thin
  • Also try to keep the dough as evenly distributed as possible (not thicker in some places)
  • Using the fork, poke some holes in the crust (spell out your kids' names or something, nobody else is going to see it except you)
  • Bake the dough for 15 minutes in the preheated oven
  • While the dough is baking, make the lemon filling
  • Add the eggs to the mixing bowl
  • Lightly beat them until they are just frothy (don't over-beat them)
  • Add the honey, lemon juice, flour, and lemon peel to the bowl
  • Stir until all the ingredients are blended
  • When the dough is finished baking, take it out of the oven
  • Pour the lemon mixture onto the dough and spread it as evenly as possible
  • Put the baking dish back in the oven
  • Bake for 25 minutes
  • Remove the baking dish from the oven and put it on a cooling rack
  • Allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes
  • Sprinkle the powdered sugar evenly over the bars
  • When the bars are completely cooled, cut them into individual-sized servings with a knife (because using a chainsaw is frowned upon in the kitchen, just saying)
