Time 55m

Yield 24 bars, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (18 ounce) box lemon cake mix
1 egg, lightly beaten
8 tablespoons butter, softened (1 stick)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup white chocolate chips
2 eggs
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with nonstick foil.
  • Combine cake mix, 1 egg, and butter with a large spatula or wooden spoon. This will give your arm a workout, but if you keep folding it over and pressing to mix, it will eventually come together into a dough that resembles children's play-dough.
  • Using your fingers, press dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the white chocolate chips and gently press a bit into the dough so they do not roll around.
  • In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and 2 eggs for 30 seconds. Stir in sugar just until combined, then beat on medium speed for 3 minutes until smooth.
  • Spoon the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bottom layer. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs.
  • Bake 30 to 35 minutes, until center is set. Remove from oven and let cool on rack to room temperature. Slice cookie bars into squares to serve.
