Lemon Bars

Lemon bars are probably one of my husbands favorite treats I make at Christmas time.  He has a very hard time waiting until I have assembled my cookie trays I give away for the leftovers.  These are the first to go in our house.  After cutting I like to dust them with a little powdered sugar just before serving.
