Lemon Obsession

I am obsessed with anything lemon. If you say something has lemon in it, I am 110 percent on board. When I say I have a lemon obsession, I am not joking. I literally pinned this recipe three different times without realizing it. ~this must have been before Pinterest started telling you that you have already pinned it, which I find awesome.~ So of the three pins, I got this recipe from Becky Charms.

These were gone in a matter of days. They are so great and worth making. 

Ingredients

The "Brownie" Batter

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt  ~sea salt~

1/2 cup ~1 stick~ unsalted butter, softened

2 large eggs

2 tbsp lemon zest

2 tbsp lemon juice

Tart Lemon Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar

4 tbsp lemon juice

8 tsp lemon zest

2 tsp lemon

Directions

Oven: 350

In an 8x8 baking dish, grease with cooking spray and set aside.

Zest and juice two lemons and set aside.

In a bowl, beat the flour, sugar, salt, and softened butter until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice until combined.

Pour into flour mixture and beat until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Pour into baking dish and bake 23-25 minutes, or until just starting to turn golden around the edges.

~insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies to make sure it comes out clean~

Allow to cool completely before glazing.

When brownies are cooled completely, make the glaze.

Sift the powder sugar, add lemon zest and juice, and whisk together all three ingredients.

Spread 1/2 the glaze over the brownies. 

Let glaze set.

Spread the remaining glaze over the bars and let it sit once more.

~this glaze does not harden like most~

Cut into bars, and serve!
