Prep:15minCook:40min
On Day 15 of our Christmas Countdown, let's brighten up the table with some Lemon Bars. These citrusy treats feature a tangy lemon curd atop a buttery shortbread crust, all finished with a dusting of snowy powdered sugar.
Baking Notes:
For a smooth lemon curd, strain the mixture to remove any lumps before pouring over the crust.
Cool the bars completely before cutting to get clean, sharp edges.
