Time 4h5m

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (17.5 ounce) pouch dry sugar cookie mix (such as Betty Crocker®)
1 stick butter, softened
1 egg
1 (14 ounce) can fat-free sweetened condensed milk
2 lemons, zested and juiced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square pan.
  • Pour cookie mix into a bowl and add butter. Mix together using a fork until crumbly. Add egg and mix until well blended. Press 1/2 of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan; reserve remaining mixture for the topping.
  • Bake crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a bowl and mix well; filling may thicken as it sits.
  • Remove crust from the oven; it will be puffy. Leave oven on. Let crust cool for 10 minutes.
  • Spread lemon filling over the crust in the pan. Top with reserved mixture by crumbling it over the filling.
  • Return pan to the hot oven and bake until lightly browned, about 30 minutes more.
  • Allow to cool completely, about 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours before cutting into bars and serving.
