Queen Elizabeth Squares Recipes

QUEEN ANNE SQUARES

Steps:

• Beat together all ingredients until smooth, then spread evenly into the bottom of a lightly greased and parchment paper lined 9×9 inch baking pan.
• Mix together the 3 ingredients until completely blended then drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto the cake batter layer. Spread out carefully.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 -30 minutes. Cool completely before adding the chocolate frosting on top.
• Beat together the icing sugar, cocoa, vanilla butter and a little of the milk.
• Add only enough milk to bring the frosting to a smooth but spreadable consistency. A frosting that is a bit on the thick consistency side works best here.
• Spread on the cooled cookies and cut into squares or bars.
