Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup of white flour
1 stick butter, softened
2 large or extra large eggs
3/4 cup super fine sugar or granulated sugar
2 tbsp lemon fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tbsp lemon zest
1/4 tsp Kosher or sea salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Lemon Glaze
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mist a nonstick 8 or 9-inch square pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter with the sugar and beat with a hand-held mixer until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time until well incorporated. Add the lemon juice, zest, and vanilla extract and mix just until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and beat at medium speed for about 1 to 2 minutes until nice and creamy.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for about 20-24 minutes. Try not to over bake. The edges will turn lightly golden brown. A toothpick should have moist crumbs. Let cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes.
  • While cooling, prepare the glaze and then spread over the brownies and sprinkle on the zest. Cut into 16 brownies and enjoy!
  • Serving size: 1 bar.
