THE BEST LEMON BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on 2 sides; spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
• For the crust: Add the flour, cornstarch, confectioners' sugar and salt to the bowl of a food processor and pulse 10 times until combined. Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse sand, about 30 times. (The dough will not come together in one mass.) Sprinkle the mixture evenly in the prepared pan and lightly pat it down. Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until golden brown around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
• For the filling: Combine the eggs, yolks, sugar, flour, salt and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Whisk continuously over medium heat, occasionally scraping down the sides and edges of the pan with a rubber spatula, until simmering and thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the lemon zest and butter until combined.
• Lower the oven temperature to 300 degrees F. Pour the filling over the crust and bake until just set, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Place on a wire rack to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours.
• Use the foil overhang to lift the bars from the pan. Remove the foil and slice into squares. Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.

LEMON SNOWDRIFT BARS

Steps:

• For Base:.
• Melt butter over low heat in medium saucepan.
• Add beaten eggs, sugar and coconut.
• Cook over very low heat, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
• Add graham crumbs and nuts and stir to combine.
• Fold in marshmallows.
• Spread in a buttered 9 inch square pan.
• Chill until firm, about 45 minutes, then frost with Icing.
• Lemon Buttercream Icing:.
• In medium bowl, beat butter until soft and fluffy with hand mixer.
• Alternately blend in sugar and lemon juice gradually.
• Add milk or cream and continue beating until icing is white and creamy.
• You may need to add a little more lemon juice to get the right consistency. You want a fairly thick, but spreadable, creamy icing.
• Spread icing on cooled base.
• Refrigerate another 30 minutes until icing is set, and cut into 1 inch squares.

LEMON-BUTTER SNOWBARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350'F.
• In mixing bowl, combine all crust ingredients. Mix on low speed until blended, and will stick together when pressed.
• Pat crust into a greased (I use Pam) 8" square pan. Build up the sides about 1/2" around pan. Bake near the center of the oven for 12-14 minutes or until edges turn lightly browned.
• Meanwhile, prepare filling by whisking all filling ingredients together. When crust is ready, pour the filling over it while still hot, and return to the oven for about 20 minutes or until set. I run a sharp knife all around the edges before it cools off, it loosens it up.
• Dust with confectioner's sugar, and let cool completely. Cut into squares. You may want to dust them again...I do!
