Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup butter, softened
5 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon salt
2 cups 1/4-inch slices rhubarb

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Mix 1 cup flour, butter, and confectioners' sugar together in a bowl; pack the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish.
Bake in preheated oven until the crust hardens slightly and is very fragrant, but not yet browned, about 15 minutes.
Whisk brown sugar, eggs, white sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and salt together in a bowl until completely smooth; add rhubarb and stir to coat. Pour the rhubarb mixture over the crust.
Bake in oven until the rhubarb mixture sets, about 40 minutes; cool at least 10 minutes before cutting into bars.
