3/4 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
4 eggs

Directions

Heat oven to 350°F. Line 13x9-inch baking pan with Reynolds® Parchment Paper, extending paper over edges of pan. Set aside.

Combine all crust ingredients in large bowl. Beat at low speed until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press mixture evenly onto bottom of parchment paper-lined pan.

Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until light brown; remove from oven.

Meanwhile, combine all filling ingredients in medium bowl. Beat at medium speed until well mixed. Pour lemon mixture evenly over hot, partially baked crust.

Continue baking for 15 to 20 minutes or until filling is set and bars are light brown around edges. Cool completely. Use edges of parchment paper lining to lift bars from pan. Place onto cutting board. Pull back edges of parchment for easy cutting. Sprinkle bars with powdered sugar. Cut into bars..

TIP: Cut out a decorative stencil using Reynolds® Parchment Paper or purchase a decorative stencil. Just before serving, arrange stencil over surface of lemon bars. Sprinkle powdered sugar over stencil. Remove stencil carefully.
