Instructions

1. Lemon Bars: Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Grease and line a 13x9 glass pan with parchment paper.

2. Crust: In a large bowl, melt 1 cup of butter in the microwave. Allow 3-5 minutes to slightly cool. Add in 1/2 cup granulated sugar and beat until well-combined. Add vanilla extract and salt and beat until completely mixed. Lastly, add in 2 cups and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and beat until a sandy texture is reached (1-2 minutes). The batter will be clumpy.

3. Crust: Dump the crust into the glass pan. Using your hands, press the dough flat until it covers the base of the pan. You can use a smaller 8x8 baking pan to press and smooth the dough to even out the layers. Bake for 25 minutes. Once baked, poke holes just on the surface of the crust throughout the pan. You do not need to wait until the crust is cooled before prepping the lemon filling.

4. Lemon Filling: In another large bowl, sift together 2 cups of sugar and 6 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Add 6 eggs, 1 cup of lemon juice, and a few drops of yellow/gold food coloring. Beat until well-combined (1-2 minutes).

5. Lemon Bars: Pour the filling over the crust. Bake for 28-30 minutes. Allow to sit out at room temperature for 2 hours, and then refrigerate for 2 hours.

6. Decorations: While the lemon bars are resting, roll out 6 ounces of red fondant. Using a star cookie cutter or wax paper cut out like a star, cut out 12 red stars. Allow the fondant to sit out while the lemon bars are resting to firm up.

7. Decorations: Once the bars have been chilled, top the lemon bars with sifted powdered sugar. Remove the bars from the baking pan, and cut into slices using a sharp knife for crisp edges. Top each bar with a red fondant star.

8. Enjoy!
