The Best Lemon Squares

I am excited to share one of my favorite dessert recipes! I typically do not like any type of dessert with lemon flavor, but these lemon squares are the ultimate exception. These babies are creamy and delicious, with only a hint of a lemon flavor. My grandmother has been making these since I was little, and to this day they remain a favorite of mine. I made a batch and brought them to work about a week ago, and they were quite a hit. This recipe is so simple and easy to follow, and the results are guaranteed to please. Hope you enjoy!
