Raspberry Lemon Squares Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine flour, melted butter, and powdered sugar in a bowl and stir to combine. Pat the dough into the bottom of an 8x8-inch square baking pan using your fingers. Prick the crust all over with a fork to keep it from rising in the oven.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust just starts to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• Combine eggs, white sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and lemon extract in a mixing bowl. Beat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Whisk flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl, then add to the lemon mixture. Continue to beat until the lemon filling is smooth, about 2 minutes.
• Pour the lemon filling on top of the pre-baked pastry crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is set, 23 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Cut into 6 bars, then dust with powdered sugar. Top each bar with fresh raspberries.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9-inch square pan with enough parchment paper to have overhang on all sides.
• Mix together 1 1/2 cups flour, powdered sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until combined. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Measure out 1/2 cup of the crumb mixture and set aside to use for the topping. Press remaining crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Bake crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
• While crust bakes, prepare filling: Mix together white sugar, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons flour, baking powder, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until well combined.
• Remove crust from oven and scatter raspberries evenly over top. Pour filling evenly over the raspberries, then sprinkle reserved 1/2 cup crumb mixture randomly over top.
• Place pan back into the oven and bake until bars are set, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow bars to cool completely in the pan, 30 to 45 minutes. Use the parchment overhang to remove from the pan and cut into 9 bars.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, mix Cookie Base ingredients with spoon until soft dough forms. Press into pan. Bake 14 to 16 minutes or until light golden brown. Sprinkle raspberries on crust. Lightly press raspberries into crust.
• In medium bowl, beat 3 eggs, granulated sugar and flour with whisk until well blended. Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon peel and the lemon juice. Pour evenly over raspberries on crust.
• Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until center is set. Cool completely, about 2 hours.
• When ready to serve, sprinkle top with powdered sugar. Cut into 6 rows by 4 rows. Cover and refrigerate any remaining bars.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line 8- or 9-inch square pan with foil, extending foil 1 inch over 2 opposite sides of pan; spray foil with cooking spray.
• Press dough evenly in bottom of pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely in pan on cooling rack.
• Meanwhile, in food processor, place 2 cups raspberries. Cover; process until smooth. Into medium bowl, strain raspberries through strainer to remove seeds. Add granulated sugar, lemon peel, lemon juice, egg, egg whites and salt; mix well. Stir in flour with whisk just until blended. Spread cream cheese spread over baked cookie crust. Pour raspberry filling over cream cheese layer.
• Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until filling is set. Cool completely in pan on cooling rack. Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours. Use foil to lift out of pan. Cut into 3 rows by 3 rows.
