Great Online Cookie Exchange

Hey, you all, it's time for the Great Online Cookie Exchange.  I have never participated before, but with a name like Baker I thought I'd better live up to the name.  So I have posted below a yummy recipe for lemon bars.  If you have any questions please feel free to either email me or leave it in the comments.  

 INGREDIENTS:

 Crust
2 sticks of butter
2 cups flour
1/4 to 1/3 cup lemon juice
1/2 to 2/3 cup powdered sugar

 Filling
4 eggs
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 cups sugar
4 tbsp flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla

 INSTRUCTIONS:

 Melt butter. Add powdered sugar, lemon juice and flour. Mix well. Press into bottom of 9 x 13 pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes at 350 degrees.

 Beat eggs slightly, add lemon juice and vanilla. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix with egg mixture and pour on top of hot crust. Bake 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar. 
Lindy at Downunder Dreaming, http://donwunderdreaming.blogspot.com/did a gluten free variety trial run for me as well and simply substituted gluten free flour in place of the regular flour I used and a dairy free spread instead of butter.  She attested it was super yummy.  Here is her pic she sent me (without the powdered sugar).

 Thank you Jz for hosting this fun event!  Thanks Cat for helping me figure out the whole computer techy stuff.

 I'm suggesting to Hoss we do this, pretty sure he will veto the ice skating and the snow angels, lol!  He'd probably also recommend I make the cookie dough, but the snuggling, well, I'm certain he would not turn me down for that!
Thanks for stopping by and I'm sure with the time zones the posts will most likely show up at different times, just in case you are wondering.  Hope you find a few to try out for the holidays!  Happy baking!

    Oh these sound so good - sadly I'm a horrible cookie baker. Can't do it. Just can't. I'll just sit and look at all the lovely pics everyone is posting!

    Good heavens, I'd have sworn I left a comment when I visited this morning. On the other hand, I was trying to be organized before coffee... all bets are off.
    I have a lemon lover coming for the holidays, so this is a very timely recipe!
    Thank you for joining us... and for making me a holiday hero. :-)
