Lime Bars image

A different take on the lemon bars we all love. I actually prefer them to lemon. This is my favorite bar cookie and I'm asked to bring it when going to a potluck or picnic. The recipe says it serves 36, but you can't eat just one of these delicious, tangy lime bars. You can omit the glaze and sprinkle with powdered sugar if that's your preference.

Time 3h

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup confectioners' sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
4 eggs
⅓ cup lime juice
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons grated lime peel, or more to taste

1 drop green food coloring, or as desired
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon lime juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12x15-inch baking dish.
