THE BEST LEMON SQUARES
I was directed to this amazing local recipe site and found this recipe. So delicious and so easy to make. Servings depend on how small or large you cut them. Use more or less confectioners sugar for dusting the top. Courtesy of Diane Richmond.

LEMON SQUARES/LEMON BAR COOKIES
Wonderful bar-like cookies that form a crunchy layer on the bottom and a chewy layer on top. They are delicious! They were originally called "Lemon Cheese Squares" tho I can't fathom why considering the fact that there's no cheese in the recipe! I found this in the cookbook "Private Collections: A Culinary Treasure". Miss Hortense Reit is the recipe's author. If you like lemon, you'll LOVE this! Yum!
