Oatmeal Lemon Bars

Oatmeal Lemon Cream Bars

From Just Call Me Maria

 

Ingredients:

½ cup butter, softened

1 pouch oatmeal cookie mix (I used Betty Crocker)

1 egg

1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk

2 tsp. lemon zest

¼ cup lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8x8 glass pan with non-stick cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, cut the butter into the cookie mix using a fork. Add the egg, stirring until mixture is soft and crumbly. Press half the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes. In a small mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, lemon zest and lemon juice and stir until thick. Spread the lemon mixture evenly over the baked cookie and crumble the remaining cookie dough on top. Bake for an additional 25 minutes. When cool, place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Cut into bars and keep refrigerated.

Tip: Serve with fresh blueberries or strawberries!
