Easy Rhubarb Shortbread Bars Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup butter, softened
• 5 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.75 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups 1/4-inch slices rhubarb

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, butter, and confectioners' sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish to create an even layer.
3. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until it firms up slightly and emits a fragrant aroma, ensuring it doesn't brown.
4. Prepare the filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together brown sugar, eggs, white sugar, flour, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Gently fold in the rhubarb, ensuring it's evenly coated.
5. Pour the rhubarb mixture evenly over the baked crust. Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the rhubarb mixture is set. Allow the bars to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
