Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup salted butter (, softened (1 stick))
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 lemon (, zested)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • zest of 1/2 lemon

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare an 8x8" pan by spraying with cooking spray or lining with parchment paper, and set aside.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter, sugar, and lemon zest until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the lemon juice. Add the flour and baking powder, and mix until just combined.

  3. 3

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer. Bake 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the brownies comes out clean. Let cool for 10-15 minutes.

  4. 4

    For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice and zest, then pour over the brownies, spreading evenly to coat.

  5. 5

    Let cool completely before slicing. Then slice into 16 squares.
