Lemon Bars

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 F.

2. 2

   To make the crust, use either a hand mixer or pastry cutter to mix together the lemon cake mix, 1 egg, and 1/2 cup softened butter. Press into a greased 9x 13 pan.

3. 3

   For the filling, again using a hand mixer, mix together the cream cheese, remaining 2 eggs, powdered sugar, and lemon extract. Pour over the top of the crust in the 9x13 pan.

4. 4

   Bake for 35 minutes at 350 F.

5. 5

   Sift extra powdered sugar over the top when cooled. Keep refrigerated. These are awesome straight out of the fridge!

6. 6

   Also, reduced fat cream cheese doesn't alter the texture of the filling if you are looking for a lower fat option, but since there's already a stick of butter and 2 cups of sugar, I usually just go with the full fat.
