Cookie-Crust Lemon Bars

Ingredients:

• 1 (18 ounce) roll refrigerated sugar cookie dough
• 3 eggs, slightly beaten
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons lemon extract
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350°F
2. Slice cookie dough as directed on package. Arrange slices in bottom of ungreased 13x9-inch glass pan. With lightly floured fingers, press dough evenly in pan. (Even though the cookie dough is cold/just out of the fridge, pressing it down is pretty easy. It'll take the whole roll to cover the 13x9 pan).
3. Bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes or until light golden brown.
4. In large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, flour and baking powder; blend well. Blend together lemon juice, lemon extract and lemon zest. Add lemon mixture to egg-sugar mixture, and pour over warm crust.
5. Bake at 350°F for an additional 20 to 30 minutes or until top is light golden brown. Cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar; cut into bars.
