- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions:

- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, softened butter, and powdered sugar. Mix until crumbly.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.

- Allow the raspberry lemon bars to cool completely in the baking dish before slicing into squares.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving for a decorative touch.
- Serve and enjoy the delightful burst of raspberry and lemon flavors in every bite!
