Baked Squares Squares are a great sweet treat - thin delicious morsels. We had them all the time at home when I was a kid, they were great to pop in your mouth when you needed an after school snack, or a little dessert at lunch time. And also great to serve when people came over for coffee.
Many squares are kind of like a cookie, or have a cookie crust with a rich topping.
They are quick to make and bake. A pan of squares is a good addition to a pot luck meal - they are easy to pick up and eat. The ladies of whatever group was holding the tea would make tons of squares and fancy cookies. You would pay your admission and be served, well, tea. These events usually included other money raising activities, like a bake sale, and raffle of crafted or donated goods.
