My kids love these. I have made them using strawerry, lime and pink lemonade flavors of the cakes mix and frosting. Today I am going to try orange.

I put all cream cheese mixture on bottom layer and bakes. So good does not need any on top. Yummy!!!!!!

These were excellent! The only change I made was to add more frosting to the top. I used some leftover buttercream I had and whipped it with the frosting/cheese mixture.

WOW! We like all things lemon and this one certainly rated the five stars. I followed the recipe exactly the first time and it was super; however, the second time I saved 2/3 cup of the frosting for the last layer. I do like the idea of using all of it in the second layer and using Cool Whip for the top layer...will definitely try it next time and there will be many more times making this truly wonderful dessert...cake or bars...whatever you want to call it.

I made this with the lemon pie filling layer and cool whip on top as PTinker did. Absolutely fantastic! Huge hit when I made it for a party.

This was amazing, I did ptinkers version - it was outstanding. I'm making another one for the next family gathering. Sweet but not too sweet. And so so simple.

This didn't have as much lemon flavor as I had hoped it would. It was also difficult to find lemon icing.

So easy and so good. Took this to a covered dish and brought home an empty dish.

I like being creative. I made the recipe as written but with these changes: instead of setting aside the 1/2 cup for the topping, I used all of it for the filling. Once the cake had totally cooled I put a layer of lemon pie filling on top and topped that layer with a layer of cool whip. Then I refrigerated until it was time to serve. Everyone loved the taste and they thought the layered look was very appealing. I have made it this way several times and everyone always ask how I made such a delicious dessert and for the recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly as written, and so I'm surprised at the number of positive reviews. First, setting aside 1/2 cup of frosting to cover an entire 13 x 9 pan of cookies is definitely not enough. I struggled to get the frosting to form even a really thin layer over the cookies. So that's one negative. The other is that I did not like the consistency of the middle layer. The flavor was good, but the consistency was sort of rubbery. Or maybe meringuey. In either case, I ended up throwing out the whole pan and was very disappointed.

These are delicious! I served them to friends and they all thought they were awesome. My husband doesn't like lemon stuff usually but he commented how great they were because they weren't overly lemony. They're extremely easy to make, too!
