- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a medium bowl, blend together softened butter, 2 cups flour and 1/2 cup sugar. Press into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and golden. In another bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1/4 cup flour. Whisk in the eggs and lemon juice. Pour over the baked crust.
- Bake for an additional 20 minutes in the preheated oven. The bars will firm up as they cool. For a festive tray, make another pan using limes instead of lemons and adding a drop of green food coloring to give a very pale green. After both pans have cooled, cut into uniform 2 inch squares and arrange in a checker board fashion.

Steps:
- For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking sheet (otherwise known as a quarter sheet pan) with some cooking spray.
- In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment (or you can use a food processor), cream your butter with the sugar and almond extract until light and fluffy. Whisk the flour and salt in a small bowl, making sure there are no lumps. Turn the mixer speed to low, add the flour into your butter and mix until just incorporated. (Make sure not to over-mix.) Turn the dough onto the baking sheet, flour your hands and press it out evenly on the bottom and up the sides. Pop in the fridge for an hour (or overnight) to chill.
- Pop the crust in the oven and bake until a light golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the filling: While the crust is cooling, make your filling. Crack your eggs into a large bowl and add the sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice and flour. Whisk until combined. Pour into the crust and spread evenly. Put back in the oven and bake until the filling is completely set, about 30 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before serving.
- Dust with confectioners' sugar and then cut into 20 to 24 squares to serve. Garnish with raspberries, if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/160°C
- Line the bottom and sides of a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished bars out of the pan. Set aside.
- Using a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or a food processor) beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla vigorously until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. It's an important step to beat the butter and sugar well together when making shortbread as this ensures the shortbread is light, crisp and will hold together.
- In a separate bowl, sift the flour and salt. Add it to the butter mixture and mix until blended (forming large clumps).
- Add to the prepared pan and using floured hands, press evenly into the prepared pan (including the sides).
- Dock the dough by pricking the top all with a fork and bake until just golden, around 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Beat eggs and yolks together in a bowl; whisk in the sugar and flour until smooth. Add lemon zest and lemon juice; whisk well. Pour lemon filling over the crust.
- Pour filling over the warm crust. Bake the bars for 20-25 minutes or until the center is set and no longer jiggles when gently shaken. Remove bars from the oven and cool completely at room temperature for 2 hours, then transfer to the refrigerator and chill until chilled (about 1-2 hours).
- Once cool, lift the bars out of the pan by lifting with the parchment overhang on the sides.
- Dust with confectioners' sugar and cut into squares before serving.
- For neat squares, wipe the knife clean between each cut.Cover and store leftover lemon bars in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
