Creamy, zippy citrus meets nutty cookie goodness. By Sidney Fry, MS, RD
Refreshingly tangy and buttery-crisp ... somehow the puckery citrus makes a good lemon square seem lighter than it really is. Typical recipes call for a full cup of butter and 1½ pounds of sugar-adding up to more than 300 calories in one little square.
Lightening was tricky but, luckily, our mission was accomplished. We created a healthier, lighter lemon square that retains the flavor and soul of the original.
