Time 1h35m

Yield 20 squares or 40 triangles

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups flour
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
6 extra-large eggs at room temperature
3 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest (4 to 6 lemons)
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup flour
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine the flour and salt and, with the mixer on low, add to the butter until just mixed. Dump the dough onto a well-floured board and gather into a ball. Flatten the dough with floured hands and press it into a 9 by 13 by 2-inch baking sheet, building up a 1/2-inch edge on all sides. Chill.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Before starting, measure and prep all your ingredients. This ensures smooth and efficient baking.
  • Use Quality Oats: Opt for old-fashioned rolled oats for a heartier texture.
  • Don't Overcook the Oats: Cook the oats according to package instructions, being careful not to overcook them. This will prevent mushy bars.
  • Chill the Dough: After mixing, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. This makes it easier to handle and prevents the bars from spreading too much while baking.
  • Bake Evenly: Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
  • Let the Bars Cool Completely: Before slicing and serving, let the bars cool completely. This helps them set and prevents crumbling.
