These lemon brownies or lemon blondies are fresh and tangy lemon cookie bars topped with a homemade lemon glaze that you will not be able to get enough of.
Gently fold in the flour and salt until the flour mixture disappears. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spread the lemon blondie batter evenly, and bake for 16–17 minutes. The edges should be just set and pulling slightly from the pan; the center will look pale and slightly underdone. Start checking at 15 mins, these overbake quickly!
1 cup AP flour, 1/4 tsp salt
Let the lemon blondies cool down fully before topping it with the glaze.
Make the lemon glaze
In a small/medium bowl, whisk the powdered sugar and lemon juice until a thick, pourable glaze forms.
Pour the glaze on top of the cooled-down blondies, spread it all over the top, and let it set and harden before slicing it into your lemon dessert!
