Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Base:
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on low speed to beat base ingredients until crumbly. Press mixture evenly in bottom of an un-greased 13 x 9 inch pan. Bake 20 - 30 minutes or until light golden brown.
Filling:
Meanwhile, in large bowl, use a wire whisk to lightly beat eggs; beat in remaining filling ingredients except for the lemon juice until well blended; beat in 1/4 c. lemon juice.
Remove partially baked base from oven. Pour filling evenly over warm base.
Return to oven; bake 25 - 30 minutes longer or until top is light golden brown. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar and enough lemon juice for desired spreading consistency until smooth. Spread glaze over cooled bars.
Cut into bars. Serve.
