Peach Cobbler Squares

We have had a grand time making peach jam and frozen peaches from our trees. We tried this new recipe for Sunday and all the children in town came over for ice cream and cobbler. Someone suggested that it needed more sugar in the peaches!!! I wonder who said that??? I thought is was yummy. It is like a shorbread peach square. Delicious
