Malzemeler

1/2 cup butter, unsalted

1, 4 oz. white chocolate bar (I used Ghirardelli)

3/4 heaping cup granulated sugar

2 Tbsp. lemon zest (I used 2 large lemons)

2 large eggs, room temperature

1 large egg yolk, room temperature

1 tsp. lemon extract

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 cup + 2 Tbsp. all purpose flour, spooned and leveled

1/2 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. baking powder

2 Tbsp. lemon juice (fresh)

💖 Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar

2 Tbsp. lemon juice (fresh)

Yöntemler

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 inch light colored aluminized steel baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.

Place the butter and white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl.

Microwave for 1 minute (cover with a paper towel to prevent splatter), then stir. Continue heating in ~15-30-second increments, stirring between, until the mixture is melted and smooth but not scorched. Remove from the microwave allow to cool slightly.

Add the sugar and lemon zest in a large mixing bowl. Rub the sugar and lemon zest between your fingertips to create a lemon sugar. This helps release the natural oils and infuses more lemon flavor into the brownies.

Add the eggs and extracts and whisk for about 1 minute.

Pour in the white chocolate/butter mixture and fold until combined.

Add in the flour, salt, and baking powder. Fold a few times.

Add the lemon juice last.

Fold until incorporated, do not over mix. (You can fold in some white chocolate chips in this step too, if desired).

Pour into prepared pan.

Bake for ~25-30 minutes. The edges will look golden brown, (the tops won't be browned), and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out mostly clean, a few moist crumbs are OK. As always, be careful not to over bake. Allow to cool completely.

Whisk/stir together the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl. It should be thick, but pourable. Spread over the cooled lemon brownies with an offset spatula.

Garnish with lemon zest on top (optional) and allow to set up for ~15-30 minutes before slicing and enjoying...if you can wait! 🤣 Store at room temperature for 2-3 days, or I really enjoy these brownies cold, too!
