These Sugar Cookie Lemon Bars are the ultimate summer dessert! A buttery sugar cookie crust is layered with a creamy lemonade filling made from cream cheese, lemon pudding mix, and frozen lemonade concentrate.They’re sweet, tangy, and finished with a golden cookie crumble.I love adding a dollop of whipped cream on top, too! This lemony treat is like the best parts of a cookie and a lemon bar combined! Serve them chilled for a refreshing treat that tastes like sunshine in every bite.

You are sure to get that sugar cookie flavor in every bite! Cream Cheese: Let the cream cheese come to room temperature before making the filling.This ensures that it mixes smoothly with the other ingredients and creates a creamy, lump-free texture.

Lemonade Concentrate: Lemonade concentrate is a frozen, sweetened lemon mixture that adds bold lemon flavor without watering down the filling.Make sure it’s thawed before using it so it blends smoothly into the cream cheese mixture.Lemon Pudding Mix: Look for instant lemon pudding mix (not cook-and-serve) so it thickens the filling quickly and gives it that extra burst of lemon flavor.
