Lemon Brownies

If you love lemon and you love brownies, I have the perfect recipe for you!!

My sister sent me the link to these Lemonies from Mel's Kitchen Cafe and told me to make them ASAP.  We both love lemon flavored things so it quickly went on my to do list.  I whipped them up for my mom's group Monday night and got lots of compliments on them.

They were pretty simple to make and they were so good.  I loved the lemon glaze on top.

These are my favorite lemon related kitchen supplies.  I'll link them at the bottom of this post.  I use them all the time for baking, making dressings, and cooking dinner.

I made some changes to the original recipe.  Here is my version:

Lemon brownie mix:
1 c flour
3/4 c sugar
1/4 t salt
1/4 t baking powder
zest from one lemon
1 stick melted and cooled butter
2 eggs room temperature
1 egg yolk room temperature
fresh squeezed juice from one lemon
1 t vanilla

Lemon glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
zest of half a lemon
1 T fresh squeezed lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350.  Grease a square baking pan.
Combine dry ingredients.
Combine wet ingredients in a separate bowl and whisk together.
Dump the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients.

Bake about 22-24 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned and a tooth pick comes out clean in the middle of the brownies.  Whisk together glaze ingredients.  Pop the warm brownies in the fridge to cool them off quickly.  Once they're cool, pour the glaze on top and spread it around with a spatula.  Chill for a couple of hours and then serve in one inch squares.  They're great chilled or room temp.

My mom always makes a couple of desserts when she's in charge of dessert so there is something for everyone.  I like to do the same when I can.  I baked chocolate chip cookies + lemon brownies.  I brought home an empty tray :)

My sister also sent me the cutest lemony care package recently!  Look at all this fun stuff :)

I linked the exact items for as many things as possible and then linked a couple of my favorite similar lemony items.  Those Kate Spade tidbit lemon plates are my favorite!
