RASPBERRY-LEMON BARS
My raspberry-lemon bars are perfect for summer and easy to make. I start with a shortbread crust, then double the lemon filling that you'll find in most recipes, adding lemon oil and zest for extra flavor. Then let them cool, dust with powdered sugar, and top with fresh summer raspberries. Also good served with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Combine flour, melted butter, and powdered sugar in a bowl and stir to combine. Pat the dough into the bottom of an 8x8-inch square baking pan using your fingers. Prick the crust all over with a fork to keep it from rising in the oven.
- Bake in the preheated oven until crust just starts to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Combine eggs, white sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and lemon extract in a mixing bowl. Beat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Whisk flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl, then add to the lemon mixture. Continue to beat until the lemon filling is smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Pour the lemon filling on top of the pre-baked pastry crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is set, 23 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Cut into 6 bars, then dust with powdered sugar. Top each bar with fresh raspberries.

LEMON RASPBERRY CRUMB BARS
These not-too-sweet bars, with an in-your-face lemon flavor, are a quick dessert to make anytime. The bars have the very slightest hint at a crumb topping, which adds a nice bit of texture, in my opinion-but feel free to skip that part entirely, and simply use the whole mixture for the bottom crust instead. They taste great at room temp, but are even better cold! Store in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9-inch square pan with enough parchment paper to have overhang on all sides.
- Mix together 1 1/2 cups flour, powdered sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until combined. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Measure out 1/2 cup of the crumb mixture and set aside to use for the topping. Press remaining crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Bake crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
- While crust bakes, prepare filling: Mix together white sugar, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons flour, baking powder, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until well combined.
- Remove crust from oven and scatter raspberries evenly over top. Pour filling evenly over the raspberries, then sprinkle reserved 1/2 cup crumb mixture randomly over top.
- Place pan back into the oven and bake until bars are set, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow bars to cool completely in the pan, 30 to 45 minutes. Use the parchment overhang to remove from the pan and cut into 9 bars.
