Rhubarb Dream Bars

Makes about 24

2 cups flour
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup unsalted butter
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups rhubarb, chopped

Combine 2 cups flour and powdered sugar. Cut in butter, until crumbs form. Press in bottom of jelly roll pan. Bake at 350F for 15 minutes. Blend eggs, sugar, 1/2 cup flour, and salt. Fold in rhubarb. Spread over crust. Bake 40-45 minutes in 350F oven. Cool. Cut into squares.

Note: NOTES : Works well in 9x13 in pan as well, but center does not cook all the way through after 45 minutes, which leaves it moist and custardy. Very good!

Would make this again.
Although I don't think this is a "Christmasy" kind of cookie, these are great to make in the summer when rhubarb is fresh! My guess is that the previous reviewer, since she made them at Christmas time, used FROZEN rhubarb and that is why they turned out sticky. With fresh rhubarb, these are absolutely delicious! I've made these several times and they've become one of our family favorites. Also, note that I've always made these in a 9x13" pan, and that works out well. I'm not sure about the jelly roll pan. five stars

Would not make this again.
I made these cookies last christmas, putting them on cookie trays. They lacked eye appeal, were too sticky, and were generally left untouched on the tray. one star
