Cookie-Crust Lemon Bars image

This recipe combines two of my DH's favorite desserts -- sugar cookies and lemon bars. Using packaged cookie dough makes this come together really quickly. I adapted this from a recipe I got in an email, and love the result of the three different sources of tart-lemonness.

1 cup butter (softened)
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 Tablespoons butter (softened)
1 cup sugar
4 eggs (divided)
2/3 cup lemon juice
1 lemon (zest)
2 Tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Gradually beat in dry ingredients until combined.
  • Roll into 1" sized balls and place in muffin tin.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Press the insides of the cookies down with the backside of a spoon to make an indent for filling; let cool.
  • To make the filling, cream together 6 Tablespoons softened butter with 1 cup sugar.
  • Mix in 2 eggs and just the yolks from the other 2 eggs, and beat until well combined.
  • Add lemon juice and mix until combined, there will still be some lumps.
  • Pour filling mixture into a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Whisk constantly for 5 minutes, or until smooth and thickened.
  • Remove lemon curd from heat and let cool for 2-3 minutes.

  • Top cookie cups with lemon zest of one lemon, and place in fridge for 30 minutes, or until lemon curd has set up.
  • Remove cookie cups from pan using a butter knife and sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh lemons. Bottled lemon juice will not provide the same flavor or texture.
  • If you don't have a lemon zester, you can use a microplane grater to zest the lemons.
  • Be sure to grease the baking dish before pouring in the batter. This will prevent the bars from sticking.
  • To make sure the bars are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bars are done.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help them hold their shape.
  • Dust the bars with powdered sugar before serving for a finishing touch.

Conclusion:

These lemon bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their bright citrus flavor and creamy texture, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
