Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Combine all Crust ingredients in a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan.
Bake the crust for 18-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
While the crust is baking, prepare the Filling. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Whisk in the flour, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the filling over the warm crust and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set.
Let cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar and cutting into squares.
