Lemon Bars

I promised to post the recipe for the lemon bars I made last week - they are not "friendly" as far as any weight loss plan goes...but if you cut them small and use restraint when eating them [I am limiting myself to one per day], they're not too bad :o).

LEMON BARS
2 c. flour
1 c. butter or margarine
1/2 c. powdered sugar
4 eggs
6 Tbsp lemon juice [or the juice of 2 lemons...I only had one lemon, and I supplemented the rest with 2 teaspoons of lemon extract, and that worked beautifully!]6 Tbsp flour
2 c. sugar
1 c. shredded coconut [I would imagine you could leave this out - we both like coconut, and we had some that we were trying to use up, so...]

Frosting [again, you can skip this and just dust them with powdered sugar. I love frosting, so that's what we got. It does make them SUPER sweet, so cut into smaller squares if you go this route]

Mix flour, butter, and powdered sugar as pie crust. Bake in 15 x 12 inch cookie sheet for 20 minutes at 350 degrees [I used my silicone casserole pan - bigger than a 9 x 13 pan, but smaller than a cookie sheet].

Mix the rest of the ingredients. Pour over crust. Put back in the oven and bake for 25 minutes more. Frost when cold.

*They're best if you put them in the fridge and let the frosting harden. They TASTE good when the frosting is still soft, but they are really messy!!!!

Enjoy!!!
