  • 2/3 cups of butter
  • ½ cup of powdered sugar

 

For the topping

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups of sugar

  • I make lemon bars frequently.
    1 and 1/2 CUPS of lemon extract has to be a typo. That would be 12 OUNCES of extract!! 1 and 1/2 teaspoons is more than adequate. And to bake the filling completey, so that it sets properly, takes 20 to 25 minutes.

  • Is the Lemon Extract quantity Correct? Or should it read 1 1/2 teaspoons
