LIME SQUARES WITH RAW SUGAR SHORTBREAD
In the tropical climate of the Yucatán Peninsula, there are three different types of lime, and too many other citrus varieties to count. But really, this tart dessert was born in the United States as the ever-reliable lemon square. At Hartwood, the Mexican-modern-American restaurant in the beach town of Tulum, the crust is made with grated piloncillo, the traditional sugar there. (Raw sugar stands in nicely for home cooks elsewhere.) The crust is also scented with chamomile, which grows in huge thickets in the Yucatán. Adding half a cup of sweetened shredded coconut to the dough for the crust is also a nice touch.

Steps:
- Make the crust: Combine flour, sugar and salt in a bowl and toss to combine. Rub in butter until dough comes together in clumps; add a trickle of cold water if mixture seems dry. Press dough into a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Prick all over with a fork and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake chilled dough until golden and toasted, 15 to 20 minutes. Leave the oven on.
- Meanwhile, make the topping: Sift flour and chamomile together, using the sifter to break up clumps and chamomile flowers. Repeat to eliminate any chamomile leaves or buds.
- Strain the lime zest from the juice; discard zest. In a bowl, whisk eggs together. Slowly whisk in strained lime juice, sugar and salt. Add dry ingredients and mix well.
- Pour topping over crust and bake for 20 minutes, then check to see if filling has set. If loose, bake another 5 minutes and check again. (Keep in mind that the filling will continue to thicken as it cools.) Once cooled, cut into squares or bars. Serve dusted with chamomile flowers.

LIME BARS
A different take on the lemon bars we all love. I actually prefer them to lemon. This is my favorite bar cookie and I'm asked to bring it when going to a potluck or picnic. The recipe says it serves 36, but you can't eat just one of these delicious, tangy lime bars. You can omit the glaze and sprinkle with powdered sugar if that's your preference.

BEST LEMON SQUARES
I'd lost my family recipe for lemon squares and spent a lot of time trying new ones that would measure up. None did, but thankfully I recently found the recipe again. Best lemon squares out there.

Steps:
- Crust: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly butter an 8-inch square baking pan. Line bottom and 2 sides of pan with parchment, leaving a 1-inch overhang; lightly butter the parchment.
- Combine flour, brown sugar, and salt in a food processor, and pulse a few times to combine. Add butter, and pulse until largest pieces are the size of peas. Add coconut and white chocolate, and pulse a few more times, just until mixture holds together. Transfer mixture to pan, and pack down firmly with the bottom of a measuring cup. Bake until crust is deep golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and reduce heat to 300 degrees.
- Filling: Whisk together eggs and granulated sugar in a bowl, then whisk in flour. Gently stir in lime juice (do not whisk or stir vigorously or batter will become foamy).
- Pour filling over hot crust, and bake until filling is set, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Run the tip of a knife along the 2 sides of the pan not lined with parchment, then remove from pan by lifting with parchment overhang. Transfer to a cutting board, dust with confectioners' sugar, and cut into 1-inch squares.
