👩🍳 Preparation
1. Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy removal.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:
Flour
Sugar
Lemon zest (1 tablespoon)
Baking powder
Salt
3. Add Wet Ingredients
Pour in:
Melted butter
Lemon juice (¼ cup)
Eggs
Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
Stir until just combined — do not overmix.
4. Bake
Pour batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool completely in the pan.
🍯 Make the Glaze
While the bars cool, whisk together in a bowl:
Powdered sugar (1¾ cups)
Lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
Lemon zest (1 teaspoon)
Vanilla extract (optional)
Whisk until smooth and pourable.
🍋 Finish and Serve
Pour the glaze evenly over the cooled lemonies.
Top with extra lemon zest for even more citrus punch.
Let set, then slice into bars and enjoy!
Tip: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for a firmer texture.
