These bar cookies have a lemony cheesecake flavor. Fast and easy to make due to the cake mix. Tried and true recpe brings raves. These turn out a fabulous 2-layer lemon bar and are so easy to make. I also varied the recipe and used a devil's food cake mix for a brownie variation. Feel free to use other flavors to suit your own tastes.
