Cherry-Blueberry Squares

2 sticks margarine
1 ½ cups sugar
1 tsp vanilla sugar
4 eggs
2 cups flour
1 Tbsp lemon juice

Filling: ¾ can cherry or blueberry pie filling

Cream sugar and margarine. Add remaining ingredients, except pie filling, and mix well. Flatten batter into greased cookie sheet and draw into 20 squares (5x4) (mark squares with knife). Place approximately three cherries or blueberries in each square.


Bake at 350 for 50 minutes. When cool, cut squares so that each has some pie filling in its center. Dust with confectioners’ sugar.

Yield: 20 squares

(I usually end up using a 9x13 pan, and the cherries sink in, which gives it an interesting look. They might come out better on a real cookie sheet.)
