Lemony Lemon Squares

I'm REALLY loving the lemon lately!!

1 cup REAL Butter (NO Substitutes :D ..no no no)

2 cup Flour

1/2 cup Cornstarch

1/2 cup Powdered Sugar

1 large Lemon 

In a small bowl, zest the lemon. In a separate bowl, juice the lemon and take 2 tbsp of the juice for the dough. Set aside the remaining lemon juice for the filling below! 

Combine all ingredients with the lemon zest & 2 tbsp juice in a electric mixer stand until it has a smooth consistency!  Place in 8x8 parchment lined pan or a 6x9 and bake until golden on 375, about 10-12 minutes!

Filling 

1 cup Sugar

1/4 cup Cornstarch

1/8 tsp Salt

1 large Lemons (zest and juice)

1/2 cup Lemon Juice (i like extra lemony taste)

2 Eggs

~In a medium pot, whisk up the sugar, cornstarch, salt, lemon zest and juices with the eggs until well blended.
