Lemon Squares | Cookin' It with Kix



I think I have a thing for lemon bars. OK, I KNOW I have a thing for lemon bars.  As soon as I've discovered THE BEST recipe around, another comes along, and I love it just as much!  

If you think perhaps you do as well, try this recipe. You won't be disappointed!

Maybe it's the universal appeal of lemony lusciousness. Rarely, and I do mean rarely, does anyone turn away a lemon bar, when offered. Maybe it's the universal "season" of lemons  - yes, I know they ripen in the summer in climes where they are grown, but generally you can find them in abundance on your grocers aisle 12 months out of the year.

An’ maybe it's just cuz lemon bars are sooo darn good!

This recipe comes from Cookin' It with Kix my a book club pick from waaaay back in 2016. Of course, I tried it. Of course I loved them! I found the filling to be a perrrrfect consistency, probably because of the 4 eggs. (Any excuse I have to use more eggs around here!) 

Perfect for an Easter table or any early spring gathering!



Ingredients:

CRUST

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • pinch of salt

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temp.

In the midst of all this holiday cooking and gathering around our friends and family, let’s not forget about our furry friends!

When it comes to doggies biscuits, I tend to stick to simple and whole food recipes to ensure my pals are getting tasty and nutritious treats!

And when one of my lovely friends sent me photos of the treats she just made her pups I HAD to share them, (with permission of course!) Luckily, she loves to document her recipes through photos and agreed to send them my way! She also confirmed that they were DEVOURED, because they were so yummy!

Here’s the recipe and instructions so you have something to share with your four-legged “fur babies.” No pets of your own? Your friends and neighbors will be touched if you were to gift some to theirs!
