Here is an easy recipe for lemon bars. Normally I would make the crust by hand and everything from scratch but this one is quick and yummy!
One thing to note, the Sugar Cookie Mix is here in PV at Soriana/Marina. I think it is even under 20 pesos! it is betty Crocker brand in the baking area.

| Filling
|
|
