Can I have a Cookie?

I know..It is another cookie recipe. But these are a holiday tradition at my house.  Easy to make and once again you get that sweet and tart flavor. This recipe is from a Pillsbury cookbook that I got in 1996, but we were making them way before then.


SUNBURST LEMON BARS

Base

2 cups all purpose flour
½ cup powdered sugar
1 cup margarine or butter, softened (I use butter)
Filling
4 eggs, slightly beaten
2 cups sugar
¼ cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ cup lemon juice

Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons lemon juice

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup and level off. In a large bowl, combine all base ingredients; beat at low speed until crumbly. Press evenly into the botton of an ungreased 13 x 9 inch pan. Bake for 20-30 minutes until golden brown.
In a large bowl, combine all filling ingredients except lemon juice, blend well. Stir in ¼ cup lemon juice.
Remove pan from oven and pour filling over warm base. Return to oven and bake an additional 25-30 minutes. Cool at least one hour until completely cooled.
In a small bowl make the glaze and glaze the cooled bars. Cut into bars. Makes approximately 36 bars.
