Cookie of the Day: Luscious Lemon Squares

The combination of sweetness, tart lemon and delicate crust make these Lemon Squares a burst of summer flavor in the winter. Always a family favorite, we request these delectable cookies from my mother each year.


Her homemade crust becomes all the more tender beneath a custard-like topping of lemon and sugar. Baked to perfection and dusted with confectioner’s sugar, these cookies have a light, delightful flavor which warm the spirit even on the coldest of days.
