Ingredients

lemon brownies

1½ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup butter room temperature
1½ cup granulated sugar
3 tbsp lemon juice about 1 lemon
2 tsp lemon zest
½ tsp baking powder
2 eggs room temperature

glaze

¾ cup powdered sugar
1½ tbsp lemon juice
zest of ½ lemon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F. Prepare an 8’’x 13’’ baking tray with parchment paper. Set it aside.
Place butter in a medium-sized bowl and beat it until creamy. Then add sugar and beat for a couple of minutes until soft and fluffy.
Add one egg at a time, beating each egg until well combined. Add lemon zest and lemon juice, and stir to combine.
In a different bowl, mix flour with baking powder. Then, incorporate it into the brownies batter. Mix with a silicone spatula to combine.
Pour your brownie batter into the prepared baking tray, and use the back of the spatula to extend it evenly.
Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are brownish and the center is set. For fudgy brownies, your baking time will be closer to 22 minutes. For spongy brownies, 25 to 28 minutes will be ideal.
Once out of the oven, let it cool to room temperature before slicing.
Before serving, mix all the ingredients for the lemon glaze in a small bowl. Then, coat your brownies with it and let the glaze harden.
