Ingredients
  

Lemon Brownies

  • 1 cup salted butter softened
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • Zest and juice of one lemon
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 ½ cups flour
  • ½ tsp salt

Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice more or less

Additional ingredients:

  • 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 8 cups Vanilla ice cream

Instructions
 

  • Cream butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl till creamy. Beat in lemon zest, lemon juice, and eggs. Stir in flour and salt till well combined.
  • Line a 9x13" pan with foil, leaving at least 3 inches of extra foil at each end. (This will help with removing the brownies later.) Spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Spread the batter evenly in the foil lined pan.
  • Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or till edges are starting to lightly brown and middle is set.
  • For glaze, whisk together all ingredients, adding enough lemon juice to make a pourable consistency. Spread evenly over hot bars.
  • Cool in pan for about 20 minutes, then use foil to carefully remove brownies to a cooling rack.
  • Cut into star shapes with a cookie cutter. Serve with vanilla ice cream and fresh berries.

Notes

If you prefer, you can just cut the lemon brownies into squares instead of star shapes.
