Cookie-Crust Lemon Bars - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (18 ounce) roll refrigerated sugar cookie dough
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 cup powdered sugar

Preparation

Heat oven to 350\u00b0F
Slice cookie dough as directed on package. Arrange slices in bottom of ungreased 13x9-inch glass pan. With lightly floured fingers, press dough evenly in pan. (Even though the cookie dough is cold/just out of the fridge, pressing it down is pretty easy. It'll take the whole roll to cover the 13x9 pan).
Bake at 350\u00b0F for 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown.
In large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, flour and baking powder; blend well. Blend together lemon juice, lemon extract and lemon zest. Add lemon mixture to egg-sugar mixture, and pour over warm crust.
Bake at 350\u00b0F for an additional 20 to 30 minutes or until top is light golden brown. Cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar; cut into bars.
