    Rosemary-Lemon Bars

    Our lemon tree is loaded with fruit this time of year, and the rosemary "tree" is always ready to contribute to a good cause.

    I just couldn't pass up a chance to make these lemon bars!

    Rich, buttery crust, refreshing lemon and vibrant rosemary. These are SO good! | The Recipe Wench

    The rosemary-lemon combo is hard to beat.

    The crust on these bars is rich and buttery.

    You will not be disappointed!

    If you love the rosemary-lemon combo as much as I do, you might want to try the Rosemary-Lemon Martini.

    SO delicious!

    ENJOY!

    These lemon-rosemary squares have a delicious buttery cookie crust. The powdered sugar and sprigs of rosemary as garnish make for a gorgeous display.

    Ingredients

    Cookie Crust

    • 1 Cup Unsalted butter (room temperature)
    • 2 Cups Flour
    • ½ Cup Powdered sugar
    • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla

    Filling

    • 4 Eggs
    • 1 Cup Granulated sugar
    • 1 Cup Packed light brown sugar
    • ⅓ Cup Fresh lemon juice
    • 1 Teaspoon Lemon zest
    • 1 Teaspoon Fresh rosemary (chopped very fine)
    • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
    • ¼ Cup Flour
    • ½ Teaspoon Baking power
    • ¼ Teaspoon Salt

    Garnish

    • Powdered sugar for dusting and a few rosemary sprigs for garnish

    Directions

    Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease 9x13 glass baking dish (I simply spray bottom and sides with Pam).
    Crust
    Step 2
    In mixer with paddle attachment, combine flour and butter, add powdered sugar and vanilla. Spread this dough on the bottom of the greased baking dish. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, until lightly golden brown. Set aside to cool before topping with filling.
    Filling
    Step 3
    Whisk together the eggs and sugars until fully. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, rosemary, and vanilla. Whisk to combine. Add flour, baking powder, and salt and whisk until just combined.
    Bake
    Step 4
    Pour filling over the cooled crust and bake at 350ºF for 30 minutes. Cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Garnish with sprigs of rosemary, if desired.
