Lemon Brownies

These taste fantastic. The texture is delightful. I used 2 tbsp. of the lemon zest in the bars and then what was left for the glaze. It was enough.

3/4 c. flour
3/4 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1/2 c. butter, softened
2 eggs
2 tbsp. lemon zest
2 tbsp. lemon juice

Glaze:
2 tbsp. lemon juice
8 tsp. lemon zest
1 c. powdered sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter.
3. Zest and juice two lemons.
4. In a bowl, beat the flour, sugar, salt and softened butter until combined.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
6. Pour egg mixture into the flour mixture and beat for 2 min. until smooth and creamy.
7. Pour into baking dish and bake for 23-25 min. It should turn golden brown around the edges. Do not over bake.
8. Allow to cool completely before glazing.
9. Filter the powdered sugar and whisk with the lemon juice and lemon zest.
10. Spread the glaze over the bars with spatula and let set.
