Ingredients

Brownies:

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter softened
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Lemon Glaze:

• 4 tablespoons lemon juice
• 8 teaspoons lemon zest
• 1 cup icing sugar

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal. Zest and juice two lemons and set aside, for both the batter and glaze.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and softened butter.

Use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or a hand mixer to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice until fully combined. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients.

Beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until the batter is smooth, creamy, and slightly thick.

Pour into baking dish and bake for 20-23 mins, should turn golden around the edges. Avoid overbaking to ensure the brownies stay moist and tender.

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan. This prevents the glaze from melting and ensures clean slices.

Sift powdered sugar into a medium-sized mixing bowl to remove any lumps. Add the lemon zest and lemon juice. Whisk until the glaze is smooth, slightly thick, and pourable.

Adjust the consistency with a few drops of lemon juice or powdered sugar, as needed.

Spread the glaze over the brownies with a rubber spatula and let glaze set. Allow the glaze to set completely for 10-15 minutes.

Cut the brownies into 9 or 16 squares, depending on your preferred size. Sprinkle with lemon zest, or with a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence!
