 It's springtime, but at my house there is still a foot of snow in some areas. So I thought in order to feel more like springtime I need something lemony. So I am making our lemon brownies with lemon frosting. Now for this recipe you need sugar, flour, powdered sugar, a block of cream cheese, butter, four eggs, baking powder, and some lemons. Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. Next you're going to take a 9x13 pan and spray it with some cooking spray. Now for the next part it says to use a stand mixer. Now I have something to admit to you. I don't actually own a stand mixer. I just have these and they work just fine. To my mixing bowl I'm going to add one cup of butter. Then I have one and a half cups of sugar. Then we're just going to mix this up. Add one egg at a time and mix in between. Now you're going to do this for all four eggs and you're going to mix it until it's all well combined. Next you're going to add just a little bit of vanilla. It says a dash. I'm doing a teaspoon. And then a half cup of lemon juice. Then just mix it up. Then we have two cups of flour, one teaspoon of baking powder. Then I just have a dash of salt. And the last thing we need is lemon zest. Now I don't use my zester very often so you're about to go where not many people have gone before. This is my random drawer. Don't cringe. All right you can cringe if you want to. I just have so many fun things that I use that I need to place. There it is. All right there we go. Okay zester. And you need just about a tablespoon of zest. Lemon zest. All right about one tablespoon. Yum. It smells so good. Then you're just going to mix it all together again. Place hold. It's two tablespoons of lemon zest. All right. And we're just going to pour this into our prepared baking sheet or baking pan. Nine by thirteen. You know what I'm talking about. And gently spread it out. Next you're just going to throw it in the oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. When it's all done go ahead and pull it out of the oven. Now usually you do like a toothpick test but I'm out of toothpicks so we just got to do a fork test. It's a little gooey. I think we're going to cook it for about three more minutes. All right I let it go in for a few more minutes. It is looking good. It might have got a little burned on the edges so I did it like extra five minutes maybe do like three. Now you want this to cool completely. While it's cooling that's the time to make the frosting. For the frosting you're going to use a fourth cup of room temperature butter. Four ounces of cream cheese. Three tablespoons of lemon juice. One tablespoon of lemon zest. And then about two-thirds cup of powdered sugar. Let's mix this all together. Then you're going to take your frosting, put it right on top of your brownies. Now I'm going to let the frosting stiffen up just a little bit then I'm going to cut right into them. Now you can serve them just like this or you can add a little lemon zest on top. Now for the best part of the day that is good. So I thought it'd be fun to let my kids try it. So the 13 year old loved it. The six year old, not so much. Now the 10 year old, yeah she thought it was a winner. Harper the one-year-old um she liked it. Wasn't quite sure what to think but then she she liked it later. If you want more dessert recipes I have plenty for you. You can find them just right up there. All right I'll see you next time.
