Steps:
- Butter and line a 13 x 9 inch baking pan with buttered parchment or foil.
- Position oven rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°.
- In a standing mixer with paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed.
- Beat in powdered sugar and vanilla; continue beating a minute or two, until light.
- Decrease speed and beat in the flour.
- Spread the dough over the bottom of prepared pan, using a small offset spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth it.
- Bake the base for about 20-25 minutes, until golden and baked through.
- While the base is baking, prepare the topping; be careful not to overmix the topping, or it will have a coarse textured foam on the top when baked.
- In a big bowl, whisk the eggs just to break them up.
- Whisk in the sugar, then the lemon juice and zest.
- As soon as the base is baked, remove it from the oven and pour on the topping.
- Immediately return pan to oven and keep baking another 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is set and firm.
- Cool on a rack until completely cooled.
- To cut, use the paper to transfer it to a cutting board and slide a long knife or spatula until it to loosen the paper or foil, then pull away.
- Trim the edges, use a ruler to mark, then cut into 2-inch squares.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

BEST LEMON SQUARES
I'd lost my family recipe for lemon squares and spent a lot of time trying new ones that would measure up. None did, but thankfully I recently found the recipe again. Best lemon squares out there.
