Ingredients

For The Cookie Crust

6 tbsp. Butter Softened
1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
1 cup All Purpose Flour
2 tbsp. Corn Starch
1 tbsp. Lemon Zest
2 tbsp. Ice Cold Water

For The Filling

1/3 cup Honey

Instructions

Cookie Crust Instructions

In a large bowl mix together the butter, powdered sugar, corn starch, flour, lemon zest and water. Use your hands to form a dough.
Spray an 8x8 inch pan with cooking spray. Press the cookie dough into the pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Filling Instructions

Mix together the eggs, honey, lemon juice and all purpose flour. Set aside while the cookie bakes.
When the cookie crust is finished baking, allow it to cool for 15 minutes. Pour the filling onto the crust and return it to the oven (at 350 degrees) for 20 minutes. The filling will be thin. Don't worry- this is normal.
The bars are finished when the filling is set and no longer jiggly. Remove them from the oven and allow to cool for a 1/2 hour. You will then refrigerate them for 1.5 to 2 hours. Cut the bars into squares and garnish with powdered sugar
