recipe from Betty Crocker
Base
1 1/2 cups butter or margarine, softened
2/3 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons grated lemon peel
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 2/3 cups (13 ounces) flour
To make the base
Heat oven to 350 F.
Lightly grease bottom only of jelly roll pan with shortening.
In large bowl, beat butter, powdered sugar, lemon peel, lemon juice, and food coloring with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy, or mix with spoon.
Stir in flour until well blended.
Press in pan, using floured fingers (flour fingers several times to prevent sticking).
Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until light golden brown.
Cool completely, about 1 hour. Frost then remove from pan using very flat-edged metal spatula (bars are very tender).
Pink Lemonade Glaze
3 cups powdered sugar
4 tsp grated lemon peel
4 tbsp lemon juice
1 drop red food color
To make the glaze
In medium bowl, mix all glaze ingredients until smooth and spreadable. Pour glaze over warm bars; spread evenly (work quickly because it sets very quickly).
