Cooking Instructions:

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside.

Lemon Poppy Seed Bars With a Cookie Crust are a delicious dessert that feature a sweet and buttery cookie base topped with a zesty lemon filling studded with crunchy poppy seeds. These bars are perfect for holiday gatherings or as a revitalizing treat any time of year. Serve them chilled for a delightful dessert experience!

Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the bars.
2. Make the Cookie Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well. In another bowl, cream together the softened butter until fluffy. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter, mixing until fully combined.
3. Press the Crust: Spread the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Press the mixture down firmly with your hands or a spatula to form an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.

6. Bake Again: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly browned. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
7. Cool and Slice: Once baked, remove the bars from the oven and let them cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour. Once completely cooled, use the parchment paper to lift the bars out of the pan. Dust the top with powdered sugar if desired, then slice them into squares or rectangles.
8. Serve: Enjoy your Lemon Poppy Seed Bars chilled or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
