BEST LEMON SQUARES

Steps:
- For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking sheet (otherwise known as a quarter sheet pan) with some cooking spray.
- In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment (or you can use a food processor), cream your butter with the sugar and almond extract until light and fluffy. Whisk the flour and salt in a small bowl, making sure there are no lumps. Turn the mixer speed to low, add the flour into your butter and mix until just incorporated. (Make sure not to over-mix.) Turn the dough onto the baking sheet, flour your hands and press it out evenly on the bottom and up the sides. Pop in the fridge for an hour (or overnight) to chill.
- Pop the crust in the oven and bake until a light golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the filling: While the crust is cooling, make your filling. Crack your eggs into a large bowl and add the sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice and flour. Whisk until combined. Pour into the crust and spread evenly. Put back in the oven and bake until the filling is completely set, about 30 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before serving.
- Dust with confectioners' sugar and then cut into 20 to 24 squares to serve. Garnish with raspberries, if desired.

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
The recipe for these sweet, tart squares, adapted from the "Wellesley Cookie Exchange Cookbook" by Susan Mahnke Peery, was published in The Times in December 1990, part of a Christmas cookie roundup. But they can be made for just about any occasion, whether you're in the holiday spirit or just craving something with a little pucker. The buttery shortbread mellows a lemon topping, as does the dusting of confectioners' sugar. Make it to cap off a weeknight dinner, or for a weekend afternoon snack, paired with a cup of tea.

LEMON SQUARES
GINA There's something about the smell and taste of fresh lemon that livens a dish right up. I remember my great-great-grandmother always rolled lemons on the counter before slicing them, to get the full flavor and extract all the juices, so I do it, too. I'm having a moment just thinking about watching her. Lemon squares are easy to prepare, and give you an Old South flavor that takes you right back in time. And the confectioners' sugar at the end doesn't hurt one bit.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and adjust rack to center.
- Put the butter, flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt in a food processor, and pulse in short intervals until the mixture is crumbly and resembles small peas. Add the cold egg yolk and water to the mixture, and pulse until just mixed. Place the dough on a floured surface, knead just a few times, and form into a disk. Wrap in plastic, and keep in the refrigerator until cold, about 30 minutes.
- When the dough is cold, roll it out on the floured work surface, and cover the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch pan with it. Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove, and let cool slightly.
- Whisk together the eggs, sugar, flour, baking powder, lemon juice, and zest in a bowl. Pour the filling over the hot crust.
- Bake for 30 minutes, until the lemon center sets. Remove from the oven, cool completely, dust with confectioners' sugar, and cut into squares.
