So onto the recipe...

 

First things first




Ingredients:


1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
4 whole eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp lemon juice
5 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda

Frosting:
1 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar
5 tbsp milk
1 box food coloring


 

                                                                                                                                                                Second things steps...

To make the cookies, preheat the oven to 350˚ F.   Grease a 13 x 18″ rimmed baking sheet (mine was 12 x 17″).  Combine the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer.  Beat on medium-high speed until light and smooth, about 2 minutes.  Mix in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.  Blend in the vanilla, seeds from the vanilla bean, and lemon zest.  In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking soda.  Stir together with a fork to blend.  Add the dry ingredients to the mixer bowl and beat on low speed just until incorporated.
Transfer the cookie dough to the prepared baking sheet and press into an even layer.  Bake 10-15 minutes, until light golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool completely before frosting.
To make the frosting, place the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer.  Beat on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute.  Blend in the vanilla, salt, and confectioners’ sugar until smooth, 1-2 minutes.  Mix in the milk.  Tint as desired with food coloring.  Spread over the cookie in the pan, cut into bars and serve.

Avoiding things that sound weird will keep you from enjoying things that taste amazing.





So onto the recipe...

 

First things first



Ingredients:


 1 cup flour
1 cup brown suga
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter
1 cup jelly any kind
1 whole egg
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla

                                                                                                                                                                Second things steps...

Do not preheat your oven.
By hand or with a mixer, cream together sugar, peanut butter, and butter. Stir in the egg and vanilla.
In a seperate bowl or large plastic ziplock bag, mix together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients slowly, mixing thoroughly, until a thick dough forms.
Press 3/4 of the peanut butter dough into the bottom of a parchment paper-lined 9×13 baking dish. Place the dish in the fridge to chill for at least an hour, but no more than 1 day, allowing the butter to re-solidify. Place the other 1/4 of peanut butter dough in the freezer until ready to use, this will make it easier to crumble over the top of the bars before baking.
When ready to bake, heat the strawberry jam in the microwave for 30 seconds, or until the jam is slightly more liquid. Spread it evenly over the peanut butter dough in the pan.
Remove the rest of the peanut butter dough from the freezer and crumble it over the jam-covered dough in the pan.
Bake in a non-preheated oven at 350 degrees for approximately 20 minutes, or until the top crust is golden brown and the jam is bubbly.
Allow the bars to cool before attempting to slice, or you may have a sticky yet delicious mess on your hands.

1/2 cup powdered sugar


Filling:
2 whole lemons
4 whole eggs
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour










Second things steps...
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. For the shortbread crust, have your child use her fingertips to work the butter, flour, and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl until the mixture holds together. Transfer the dough to an ungreased 9- by 13-inch pan and press it into the pan. Bake for 20 minutes or until the edges begin to brown.While the shortbread is baking, make the lemon filling. Wash and dry the lemons, then grate the rinds using the small holes on your grater (you will need 2 tablespoons of zest). Slice each lemon in half and squeeze the juice into a measuring cup until you have 1/3 cup. Remove any seeds. (Tip: To grate a lemon, your child should hold the grater firmly with one hand and grip the lemon with the other, keeping the fingers as far away from the grater as possible.)
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar. Whisk in the flour. Stir in the lemon zest and juice. When the shortbread has baked, pour the filling over it and return the pan to the oven for another 20 to 25 minutes or until the filling no longer jiggles and the edges are lightly brown. (Test by inserting a knife in the middle.) Cool and dust with confectioners' sugar. Makes 24 two-inch lemon squares. Refrigerate any leftovers.

Avoiding things that sound weird will keep you from enjoying things that taste amazing.





So onto the recipe...

 

First things first



Ingredients:


1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup flour
1/8 tsp salt

Lime Filling:
1 tsp lime zest
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 whole egg
1 jar green food color

Lemon Filling:
1 tsp lemon zest
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 whole egg










Second things steps...
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease the pan (either an 8x8 Pyrex, or individual tins like this)
- With an electric mixer, beat together butter and powdered sugar on medium speed until creamy. Turn the mixer down to low and slowly add the flour and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Press the dough into the pan and bake for 10 minutes
- While the dough is baking, prepare the fillings: in one bowl, mix together the ingredients for the lime filling and in another bowl, mix together the ingredients for the lemon filling. (If you're just going to use an 8x8 Pyrex, go ahead and just mix everything together in 1 bowl)
- To recreate my 2 color look, put the tip of a spatula diagonal in the square cavity and spoon in about 1-1/2 tbsp of the lime on one side of the spatula and 1-1/2 tbsp of lemon on the other. (For the pyrex, just pour it all in)
- Bake for 15 minutes if you're using the mini tins and 20 minutes for the 8x8 Pyrex, or until the filling is slightly golden brown
