I made this recipe for a party and they were gone in a blink of an eye. This recipe was very easy to make and wasn't too sweet or too too lemony. Will make again!!

I believe that whoever wrote the directions for these lemon bars made a mistake. I make a lemon pie that uses sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice and an egg. The egg should be mixed into the sweetened condensed milk NOT the cookie mix. This way it won't be too doughy and the lemon mixture will thicken up really good when baked.
