Ultimate Lemon Squares

Makes 24 to 36 bars

These lemon bars are agreeably sweet without being cloying. Adapted from "Cookies Unlimited," by Nick Malgieri (Harper Collins, 2000).

8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, plus additional for the baking dish

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for finishing

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups flour

4 large eggs

2 cups sugar

1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest

6 tablespoons lemon juice

Set an oven rack on the middle level and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and line it with oversized, buttered parchment paper or aluminum foil.
