The tart lemon flavor of these scrumptious bars is hard to resist. They are especially pretty with their bright yellow color, topped with the snowy powdered sugar. Don’t use butter, margarine, or buttery spread that is labeled diet, low-calorie, whipped, or spreadable because they have extra water, and that makes the dough too wet for this recipe...."
