Any good homemade recipes for cookies?

Answer 1

When I was a kid we had a cookbook called the Charlie Brown Cookbook, and made Lucy's Lemon squares whenever mom would let us! I looked for the cookbook as an adult, and could not find it. However, I did finally find the recipe on the internet, and they're as good as I remember:


Sift 1 cup of flour and a 1/2 cup of powdered sugar together into a bowl. Mix 1/2 cup of butter (1 stick) into the flour and sugar with your fingers until well blended. Pat evenly into the bottom of an 8x8 baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes at 350. Meanwhile, beat together 2 eggs, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and a dash of salt. Pour this mixture over the baked crust and return to the over for 20-25 minutes at 350. Cool on a rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and cut into squares. (posted 06-01-02)
