To make these Lemon Poppy Seed Bars, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 egg

For the glaze:

- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease an 8-inch square baking dish. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and lemon juice, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, poppy seeds, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bars to cool completely before glazing.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bars and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
These Lemon Poppy Seed Bars are a perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors. The bars have a soft and chewy texture with a crunchy poppy seed topping. They are perfect for a quick snack or a dessert to share with friends and family.
