Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

In a bowl, mix together 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.

Cut in the softened butter until the mixture is crumbly.

Press the dough evenly into your prepared baking pan.

Bake for about 20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

While the crust is baking, you can get started on the filling.

Whisk together 2 cups of sugar and 1/4 cup flour in a bowl to avoid any lumps.

Crack in the eggs and add the lemon zest.

Juice your lemons to get that fresh lemon flavor – you'll want about 2/3 cup of lemon juice.

Stir the lemon juice into the sugar, flour, and egg mixture until well combined.

Pour the filling over the baked crust and return it to the oven.

Bake for about 20 minutes, until the filling is set.

After removing it from the oven, let your lemon bars cool to room temperature.

Then, chill them in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours to set completely.

Before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
