Lemon Brownie Bars

The  Batter

1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cup granulated sugar 

1/4 teaspoon salt 

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

4 large eggs

2 tablespoons lemon zest

Juice from 4 lemons (about 1 cup)

Tart Lemon Glaze 

1 rounded cup powdered sugar

4 tablespoon lemon juice 

8 teaspoons lemon zest 

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease/Spray an 9x13-inch baking dish with butter/cooking spray and set aside. 

Zest and juice four  lemons; set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixture fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the flour, sugar, salt, and softened butter until combined. 

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice until combined. Pour into the flour mixture and beat at medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. 

Pour into baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until just starting to turn golden around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before glazing.  Do not overbake, or the bars will be dry. {even with the yummy glaze}

When brownies are cooled completely, make the glaze...sift the powdered sugar, add lemon zest and juice, and whisk together all three ingredients. Spread 1/2 the glaze over the brownies with a rubber spatula.  Let glaze set.  Spread the remaining glaze over the bars, and let it set.  This glaze does not harden like most.  Cut into bars, and serve! Super Yummy!!!!!
