    Delicious golden cream filled cookies layer in this cream cheese and whipping cream topping. It all sits on a lemon bar base for these Golden Cookies And Cream Lemon Bars. A simple dessert.

    golden cookies and cream lemon bars

    Never, ever underestimate the clearance aisle at any store. Like the post I put on Instagram yesterday. Good things can come under marked down labels. The golden cream cookies was such a purchase.  They were marked down to $.75.  Why, you ask?

    {I never question it, I just buy it. Including meat. That is a different story, just ask my husband.} ;-)

    When I saw the cookies on sale, I knew I could come up with something to make with it. I mean, I am a fan of all things cookie. A little bit of cookie should be in nearly everything we make, wouldn't you agree?

    Wouldn't you know, I found something to make with the cookies, the Golden Cookies And Cream Lemon Bars.

    Now, I am going to confess something here...I had never used whipping cream before. Sorry.

    I always used Cool Whip for whipped cream. Now, we are still Cool Whip fans. I mean, it's Cool Whip, ya know?  However I needed the whipping cream for the No Churn Caramel Pretzel Ice Cream I made.  Since I had some left, I thought I would use the whipping cream in the cream cheese layer. The result? Delicious!

    The lemon base is a simple lemon cake mix mixed butter and egg. The baking time is short and the dessert comes together fairly quickly.
