What makes this recipe different?

 

This Lemon Blueberry Square recipe is different from other lemon square recipes because it has a the delicious addition of blueberries.  Also, I am a crust/cookie type of person so I tend to make the squares a little thicker on the bottom.  Because the recipe has a thicker cookie bottom it’s able to support the delicious lemon pie filling, not to mention it tastes that much better.  Let me know what you think, do you prefer a thicker crust?
