Creamy Lemon Bars

10 graham crackers

½ c flour

¼ C packed brown sugar

1/2 stick margarine


Press in bottom of an 8 by 8 square dish. (I do mine in an 8 by 12 pan, and use a whole package of graham crackers and 2 extra tablespoons of margarine) Bake at 350 for 15 min (I skip this step because I think it makes the crust a little overcooked)


1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese

1 C sugar

2 eggs

2 TBSP flour

3 TBSP lemon zest, divided

¼ C fresh lemon juice

¼ tsp calumet baking powder


Beat cream cheese and sugar together add eggs and flour. Mix well. Blend in lemon zest and lemon juice and baking powder. Pour over crust. Bake 25-28 at 350 minutes or until center is set. Cool, and refridgerate 2 hours. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and remaining lemon zest. (Can use foil in pan to lift out)
