Lemon Lemonies

FOR THE BARS

 ¾ cup white chocolate chips

 ½ cup butter

 2 large eggs

 ¾ cup granulated sugar

 ¼ cup fresh lemon juice

 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

 pinch salt

FOR THE GLAZE

 2 cups powdered sugar

 1/3 cup lemon juice, or as necessary for consistency

 1 Tbsp. lemon zest

Preheat oven to 350°. Line an 8-X-8-inch pan with foil, spray and set aside.

FOR THE BARS:

In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt butter.  Immediately add the white chocolate and stir until smooth.  Let sit for a minute. Add the eggs, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and whisk until combined.  Add the flour, salt, and stir until just combined.

Turn batter out into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.

Bake 27 - 28 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Set aside and make the glaze.

FOR THE GLAZE:

In a medium bowl, add powdered sugar, lemon juice, and whisk until smooth. Glaze should be fairly thin and easily pourable. Add sugar or lemon juice as needed.  Evenly pour glaze over bars, smoothing it lightly with a spatula if necessary, but glaze will likely just slide into place. Evenly sprinkle with lemon zest.

Allow bars to cool in pan uncovered for at least 2 to 3 hours, (or overnight and cover with a sheet of foil) before slicing and serving so glaze can set up.

NOTES

Bars will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
