LEMON THYME (OR ROSEMARY) BARS
Adapted from Giada de Laurentiis, with a minor tweak or two. Traditionally, it calls for fresh lemon thyme, but feel free to use fresh rosemary, as it pairs with lemon equally as well. When serving, drizzle with limoncello for an extra special treat and lemon kick!

Modified from a recipe in the Penzeys ONE magazine, it derives a distinctive flavor with spices not normally seen in lemon bars. These are even better the second day.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350*. Combine all the crust ingredients (except butter) in a bowl. Cut in the butter until the mixture is coarse and lumpy. Set aside about 1 cup of the crust mixture.

- Prepare the glaze by mixing the lemon juice, zest and powdered sugar until smooth. Drizzle over the bars.
