Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Making the Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and granulated sugar. Beat together until creamy and fluffy for about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition. Mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well-combined.
- Gently fold in the flour and salt until just combined, avoiding overmixing. The batter should be thick and luscious.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared dish and spread it out evenly. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, until the edges pull away slightly and a toothpick comes out clean.
Glazing
- While the brownies cool, make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth.
- Once the brownies are cool, pour the glaze over them and let it set.

Notes
Store your lemon brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days or freeze individual pieces wrapped in plastic wrap for later. For a flavor twist, add a dash of almond extract to the batter or glaze. Fresh lemon juice is best for flavor.
