1 tsp fresh lemon zest, optional

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

INSTRUCTIONS:

 

 Preheat the over to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper and lightly spray parchment with cooking spray. For the sugar cookie crust, in a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar with an electric handheld or stand mixer until smooth, 1-2 minutes. Mix in the egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and lemon zest. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and mix until no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix. Press the dough into a rectangle shape in the center of the pan, about 10x14-inches. It doesn't have to be exact, just make sure it is fairly evenly thick throughout so it bakes evenly. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until just baked. It should be soft and not overly brown around the edges. Don't over bake. let the crust cool completely.

Serve and enjoy!
