1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
2 cups all purpose flour
Filling
2 cups sugar
1 tbsp all purpose flour
3 oz cream cheese, softened
3 large eggs
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon extract
grated zest from 1 large lemon
2 tbsp butter, melted and cooled
1 cup fresh raspberries or blueberries
(or no berries if that's that way it is <sniff, snurf> too bad so sad)
Cream the butter and powdered sugar together. Gradually beat in the flour. Mix the dough just until it starts to form a ball. Press the dough evenly in the bottom of a greased 9"x13" pan. Bake for 13-15 minutes at 350°F or until golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before adding filling.
Filling:
Combine sugar and flour together. Add the cream cheese, one half at a time, and mix until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time. Blend in the lemon juice, extract and zest; add melted butter. With a wooden spoon, gently stir in berries. Spoon filling over the warm crust. Redistribute berries for optimum berry pattern if necessary.
Bake at 350° F for 30 minutes or until edges are barely golden. Cool briefly, then cover and chill in refrigerator for an hour before cutting into bars.
These are gooey but wonderful.
