Cheesecake Bars (BEST EVER!) Chelsea's Messy Apron

1. PREP: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and place the oven rack in the middle position. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper (leaving enough overhang to pull out the bars) and lightly spray with cooking spray. Melt butter and set aside to slightly cool to room temperature.
2. CRUST: In a medium-sized bowl, add the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar, and salt. Stir until completely combined and then press the crust firmly and evenly into the prepared pan. (I like to compress the crust with the bottom of a flat measuring cup.) Bake the crust for 10 minutes, remove and set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
3. CHEESECAKE: In a large bowl, combine the ROOM TEMPERATURE cream cheese, sugar, and flour. Using a hand mixer, beat on medium speed until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Don't overbeat, beat at high speed, or beat in opposite directions. (Beat in a constant circle going the same way.) Use a spatula to scrape the edges and then add in the sour cream, eggs, vanilla, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and salt. Beat on low speed until it's *just* combined and smooth, being careful to not overmix. Again, beat the mixture in a constant circle going the same way.
4. BAKE: Use a spatula to scrape every bit of the batter into the slightly cooled crust. Smooth the top in one even layer. Bake for 37-43 minutes at 325 degrees or until the filling is set but ever-so-slightly jiggly in the center. (The cheesecake will continue to cook as it cools.) After the bars are baked, turn off the oven, open the oven door and let the cheesecake stand in the open oven for 30 minutes. (We're slowly reducing their temperature to reduce the risk of cracks!) After 30 minutes, transfer the Cheesecake Bars to a wire cooling rack. After 1 hour, cover tightly and refrigerate until the bars are completely chilled throughout, 6-8 hours.
