Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup powdered sugar for glaze
- 1 tbsp lemon juice for glaze
- 1 tsp lemon zest for glaze
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting.
- In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in lemon juice, zest, and vanilla. Stir in flour and salt just until combined.
- Pour the batter into the pan, smooth the top, and bake for 22–25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the edges are lightly golden. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest until smooth. Spread over the cooled brownies and chill for 15 minutes before slicing.
