Lemon Brownies

With lemons being so plentiful here in Yuma, this recipe is a must have. Lemon treats have never been my favorite but with the fresh lemons, mmmmmm.

Lemon Brownies

1 cup butter softened

1 1/2 cup sugar

2 tbsp lemon zest

4 large eggs

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

LEMON GLAZE

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

4 tbsp. lemon zest

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper.

Using a large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Using a mixer, beat together the butter, sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest until light and fluffy.  Beat in eggs, one at a time until combined

Gradually beat in the dry ingredients until combined. Pour batter into the baking pan and bake in the oven for 25-28 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.  Do not over bake. 

Allow to completely cool on the counter!

Using a large mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest until combined.

Pour the glaze over the lemon bars and spread evenly.

Allow to set overnight so the frosting sets.
