Ingredients

Scale

  • ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it lightly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt; set aside.
  3. In another bowl, cream softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition; then stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture using a rubber spatula until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. While cooling, whisk together powdered sugar with lemon juice and zest for the glaze.
  8. Once cooled, pour the glaze over the brownies and let it set before cutting into squares.
