Ingredients:  
Dough:
3 c flour
1 t baking powder
1 c white sugar
1/4 t kosher salt
zest of 1 large lemon
8 ounces cold butter, cubed
1 large egg
1 t vanilla
2 T – 1/4 c of cold water

2 T corn starch
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F. Combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and lemon zest. Add the butter and use your hands or a food processor to crumble the dough into small pieces. Move crumbles to a mixer and add in the egg and vanilla. Stir to combine, adding in water 1 tablespoon at a time – I only used 2 spoonfuls, but use up to 1/4 cup to help your dough come together. Press half of the dough into a buttered 9×13″ pan and set aside the remaining dough for the topping.

In a medium bowl, mix the filling ingredients until combined. Top with the cranberry filling and crumble the remaining dough over top . Bake for 35 minutes or until the top and sides are golden. Remove from oven and cool completely before cutting into bars.
