Glazed Citrus Butter Bars

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 cups butter (salted)

  room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 3 egg yolks
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 4 cups flour
• 2 tbsp zest and juice limes
• 2 tbsp zest and juice oranges
• 2 tbsp zest and juice lemons
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 5 tbsp juice from citrus

  use more or less, until you achieve the perfect drizzling consistency
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

• 1 Beat together sugars and butter, taking time to scrape down sides of the bowl.
  Add egg yolks one at a time. Add 3 tablespoons of the zest from the
  lemons/limes/oranges. Mix salt and flour together gradually add to butter
  mixture. Dough will be crumbly. Drizzle in 4 tablespoons citrus juice while
  mixing, scrape down sides of bowl making sure that everything is combined.
• 2 Place dough in pan (12×15″ pan, baking sheet type with low rim is what I used),
  lightly flour hands and then press dough evenly in to all corners of the pan.
• 3 Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes in pan, then
  flip bars out on to parchment paper. Lay a sheet of parchment on top, if you
  have a large cutting board this will work as well, flip the bars out on to
  parchment paper.
  
  Let cool 10 minutes longer while you make the glaze.
• 4 Whisk glaze together and drizzle glaze over top of bars, and sprinkle with the
  remaining citrus zest. Cut into squares, store in an airtight container.
