Ingredients

• FOR THE GLAZE:
• 1/2 cup salted butter (softened)
• 3/4 cup sugar
• zest of 1/2 lemon
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 3/4 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• zest of 1/2 lemon

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350. Prepare an 8 x 8 pan by spraying with cooking spray or lining with foil, and set aside.
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. 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 lemon brownies cool for 10-15 minutes.

To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest, then pour over the brownies, spreading evenly to coat. Let lemon blondies cool completely before slicing and serving.
