Cherry Squares

~Cherry Squares~

(with a little bit of blueberry- making that red, white and blue) ;)

1 cup butter

1 1/2 cups sugar

4 eggs

2 cups flour

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

1/2 tsp. lemon extract (or use just 2 tsp. vanilla instead)

1 pt. cherry pie filling

Cream butter and sugar.  Add eggs; beat.  Add flour and extracts.  Spread in greased jellyroll pan. 

Cut surface of batter to make 24 or 28 squares. Spoon pie filling onto each square.  Batter will puff around while baking.  Bake at 350* for 30 minutes or until firm and golden.  Cut into squares and sprinkle with powdered sugar.  Cool before removing from pan.

: : These held up well. Kids love them... they're tasty and so easy to do.  Enjoy!!
