Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Baking Sheet:

- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. Prepare Lemon Glaze:
- While the bars are baking, combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl, whisking until smooth to form a glaze.

8. Cool and Glaze:
- Allow the bars to cool in the dish for about 10 minutes.
- Drizzle the lemon glaze over the warm bars for an extra burst of flavor.
