Lemon Butter Cookie


Cook Time: 45 minutes

Prep Time: ten minutes

Total Time: 55 minutes

Ingredients:

one box lemon cake mix
one egg, lightly beaten
8 Tablespoons butter, softened (one stick)
one (8-ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
one cup white chocolate chips
two eggs
two cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

Preparation:


Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with nonstick foil.


Merge cake mix, one egg, and butter with a huge spatula or wooden spoon. This will give your arm a workout, but in the event you keep folding it over and pressing to mix, it will finally come together in to a dough that resembles childrens' play-dough.

Using your fingers, press dough evenly in to the bottom of the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the white chocolate chips and gently press a bit in to the dough so they do not roll around.

Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bottom layer. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs.

In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and two eggs for 30 seconds. Stir in sugar until combined, then beat on medium speed for three minutes until smooth.

Bake 30 to 35 minutes, until middle is set. Remove from oven and let cold on rack to room temperature. Slice cookie bars in to squares to serve.

Yield: 24 to 36 cookie bars, depending on cut size
