Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup fresh strawberry puree
  • 1/4 teaspoon pink food coloring (optional)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
  4. Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, strawberry puree, and pink food coloring (if using) until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the flour and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • For a stronger strawberry flavor, you can add a few drops of strawberry extract.
  • Ensure your strawberry puree is smooth for an even distribution of color and flavor.
  • Allow bars to cool completely for clean cuts.
