Fruit Desserts Recipe ⤍ Lemon Brownies

I have never been a huge fan of lemon....until now. These are always a favorite at the never ending potluck going on in the emergency room I work in. I have been wanting to post these for the last year. I hope you enjoy them too.

• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup white sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ½ teaspoon sea salt

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest, plus more for icing

• ¼ cup lemon juice
• ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
2. Beat flour, white sugar, butter, and sea salt together in a bowl using an electric mixer until well mixed. Whisk eggs, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest together in a separate bowl; mix into flour mixture and beat on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
