~Making the Brownies:

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Line a 8 inch by 8 inch pan with parchment paper or aluminium foil and grease lightly. Leave enough aluminum foil overhanging on the sides to lift the brownies out of the pan. Set aside.

Step 2: In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter, sugar, and lemon zest until light and fluffy.

Step 3: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add the lemon juice. 

Step 4: Add the flour and baking powder, and mix until just combined. 

Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer. 

Step 6: Bake 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the brownies comes out clean. 

Step 7: Let lemon blondies cool for 10 - 15 minutes.

~Making the Glaze: 

Step 8: Whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest, then pour over the brownies, spreading evenly to coat. 

Step 9: Let the lemon blondies cool completely before slicing and serving.

Step 10: Eat and Enjoy! 

~Recipe Notes:

*If using unsalted butter, make sure to add a pinch of salt to the batter.
