I wasn’t too sure about these when I first tried them, but they have grown on me.  Just imagine lemon bars with more of a brownie texture and voila you have lemon brownies.  I have set these out for an afternoon snack, had them for dessert and sprinkled powdered sugar on top and taken them to social functions.  A very versatile, delicious treat!  Enjoy!

Ingredients

Brownie:

• 3/4 c sugar
• 3/4 c flour
• 1/3 tsp salt
• 1 stick butter at room temperature
• 2 eggs
• Juice from 1/2 lemon
• Zest from 1/2 lemon

Lemon Glaze:

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• Juice from 1 lemon
• Zest from 1 lemon

Directions

Cream the butter and the sugar.   Beat the eggs  with the lemon zest and lemon juice.  Add to the butter mixture with a mixer.  Add the flour and salt. Spread into pan.   Cook at 350 degrees for 25 minutes in a 8 X 8 glass pan, sprayed with Pam. Cool for about 45 minutes.

Cut the brown edges off, and then cut  into rectangles.  Place on a pan and drizzle with the lemon glaze. Then place on a serving dish.
