1/3 c. butter, melted
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1/4 c. sugar
1 egg
2 tbsp. milk
1 tbsp. lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.

In small bowl, mix first 3 ingredients. Stir in melted butter until well combined. Reserve 1/3 cup of this crumb mixture. Pat remaining crumb mixture into pan. Bake 12 to 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in small bowl with electric mixer at medium speed, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in remaining ingredients. Pour over crust. Sprinkle on remaining crumbs. Bake 25 minutes more until set. Cool pan on wire rack. When cool, cut into 16 squares. Then cut each square diagonally in half to make 32 cookies.
