Ingredients

1 cup All-purpose flour
1/2 cup Unsalted butter
1/4 cup Sugar
2 tbsp Lemon zest
1/4 cup Lemon juice
1/2 cup Powdered sugar
1/4 tsp Rosewater
1 Egg

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a food processor, pulse 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup cold cubed butter, and 1/4 cup sugar until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into the bottom of a lined 8x8 inch baking pan and bake for 15 minutes until golden.
Step 2: While crust bakes, whisk together 2 tablespoons lemon zest, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon rosewater, and 1 lightly beaten egg in a medium bowl until smooth.
Step 3: Pour the lemon filling over the warm crust and bake for 20-25 minutes until the filling is set and edges are golden. Let cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into squares.
