Corie,
this is a super simple recipe from Rachael Ray. I made it once by following the recipe and also made it once by just adding a few drops of lemon extract because I didn't have a lemon...

This is kind of boring but my mom makes great lemon bars. Here is her recipe:

Melt 2 sticks butter
Add 2 c flour and 3/4 c powdered sugar
Pat into 9x13 sprayed pan and bake 20 min at 350 degrees

Meanwhile mix well:
4eggs
8 Tbs lemon juice
1 tsp baking powder
2 c sugar
4 Tbs flour
1/2 tsp salt

Pour over hot crust and bake for 25 min at 350 degrees. Let cool some and top with powdered sugar.

Another person I received this from used 2 "cubes" of butter so that one may be a little more "figure friendly" than my moms :)

From 101 Things to do with a cake mix...

Lemon Squares

1 lemon cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 cup oil
powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350.

Mix together cake mix, eggs and oil. Mixture will be stiff. Spread evenly into a greased 9x13 inch pan.

Bake 13-15 minutes until slightly golden on top.

Cool, then sprinkle powdered sugar over the squares.


Lemon Refrigerator Cake

1 lemon cake mix
1 small package lemon gelatin
1 small box lemon instant pudding
8 ounces whipped topping

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Make cake as directed on box in a greased 9x13 inch pan (I use glass). Let cool.

Poke deep holes into cake with a fork, spacing them about an inch apart. Dissolve gelatin in 1 cup boiling water. Then add 1/2 cup cold water to gelatin. Slowly pour gelatin mixture into holes. Refrigerate cake while preparing topping.

Mix together whipped topping and instant pudding until stiff. Immediately frost cake. Store cake in refrigerator and serve chilled.

This is also great with a white cake, strawberry jello and either the lemon topping or just whipped cream on top :)
