Lemon Thyme Bars

Germs and winter are wearing my family down, so I thought a bright and light lemon thyme dessert would help perk us up.

Ingredients:

Bars-

1 cup coconut flour

1 stick unsalted butter (4 ounces) at room temperature

2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons lemon juice and zest from 1 lemon

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Glaze-

2 tablespoons lemon juice

½ cup powdered sugar

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 and spray a 8×8 pan with nonstick spray.
2. Whisk the flour, thyme, and salt in a medium bowl.
3. Add butter and powdered sugar to a stand mixer and mix on high until light and fluffy.
4. Add the lemon juice and vanilla and beat in.
5. Add the lemon zest and dry ingredients and fold in.
6. Gently press the dough into the pan.  It will be sticky.
7. Bake 30 minutes until golden and then cool for 30 minutes before glazing.
8. Whisk the lemon juice and powdered sugar in a medium bowl.  Spread the glaze over the bars and allow the bars to set at room temperature for at least an hour.
9. Cut into bars and store in an air-tight container.
10. Enjoy!
