LIME BARS
A different take on the lemon bars we all love. I actually prefer them to lemon. This is my favorite bar cookie and I'm asked to bring it when going to a potluck or picnic. The recipe says it serves 36, but you can't eat just one of these delicious, tangy lime bars. You can omit the glaze and sprinkle with powdered sugar if that's your preference.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray the bottom and sides of a 9 by 13-inch cake pan with nonstick spray.
- To make the crust, combine the butter and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed for 2 to 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add the flour and salt, and mix another minute until well combined. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan, and pat out to an even thickness over the bottom of the pan. Bake the crust for 20 to 25 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from the oven, and cook on a baking rack.

WATERMELON-LIME COOLER
While coolers are often stretched with something sparkling, this rose-hued drink swaps in a pour of fresh watermelon juice. The inherent sweetness - and deep pink color palette - of both the juice and the Lillet Rosé is tempered with an ounce of gin and a splash of lime's bright acidity. (If you can't find Lillet Rosé, use Lillet Blanc or even a blanc vermouth in a pinch.)

Tips:
- Use fresh limes: Fresh limes provide the best flavor for these bars. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Don't overbeat the batter: Overbeating the batter will make the bars tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Chill the bars before serving: Chilling the bars for at least 2 hours before serving will help them set and make them easier to cut.
- Store the bars in the refrigerator: The bars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Serve the bars with whipped cream or ice cream: Whipped cream or ice cream is a delicious way to serve these bars.
Conclusion:
Lime cooler bars are a refreshing and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. If you are looking for a tasty and easy-to-make dessert, then you should definitely try these lime cooler bars.
