These are an easy variation of lemon bars. They use a bag of cookie mix, but the fresh lemon zest and juice makes them special!

How To Make cookie mix lemon bars

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square pan with non stick spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl cut the cold butter into the cookie mix with a fork or pastry blender. Stir in the egg until the mixture is crumbly.
Step 3

Press half of the dough into the bottom of the greased pan and bake it in the oven for 15 minutes.
Step 4

In a small bowl mix the sweetened condensed milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice until thick and combined.
Step 5

Spread lemon mixture over baked crust and evenly crumble remaining dough on the top.
Step 6

Bake another 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Let cool and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until set. Cut into bars and store in the refrigerator.
