3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
FILLING:
2 cups sugar
1/3 cup flour

Heat oven to 350. Line 13x9 pan with aluminum foil. Coat with nonstick cooking spray. Make the crust: In bowl, stir together butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and salt. Gradually stir in flour until smooth. Press dough over bottom of prepared pan. Bake in 350 oven 20 minutes or until edges are brown.
Make the filling: In large bowl, mix granulated sugar and flour. Whisk in eggs until smooth. Stir in lemon rind and juice. Fold in berries. Pour filling over crust. Bake in oven until set, about 30 minutes. Let cool in pan on wire rack.
What I did differently from the recipe:
I went outside to pick the blueberries from our blueberry bushes only to find.... they are gone. No blueberries since ??? So mine are just plain lemon bars which is fine for me but I would love to add blueberries!
What I'll do differently next time:
Maybe add blueberries if I think about it!
Verdict:
Thumbs up! I love lemon bars and these are not too sweet. Great dessert treat!!
