Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup regular rolled oats
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
2 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375*. Coat an 8x8 inch square baking pan with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine 2/3 cups flour, powdered sugar and oats. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut butter into flour mixture until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Press into bottom of prepared pan. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven.
