Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9x9” baking pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.

Blender: Add cookies to a powderful blender and pulse a few times until they are a fine crumb. Add melted butter and pulse once or twice until incorporated. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Food processor: Finely crush the cookies using the food processor. Add to melted butter and stir with a fork until sandy, then press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Be sure to press very well so they are totally compact. If there are any holes the bars will invert. Sprinkle crust with white chocolate chips.
Add lemon juice, lemon zest, granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, and eggs to a blender and blend until smooth. Alternately, whisk together until mixture is smooth. Pour onto crust.
Bake for about 30-40 minutes, or until the edges are a light golden color. The top will have a dull white look too it. Cool completely.
Slice into bars and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

It's very important to compact the crust very well so the lemon mixutre doesn't soak through the bottom.
You can omit the white chocolate if you prefer.
You can use foil or parchment paper to line the pan.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
