This is a good treat for someone that
doesn't like chocolate.
( I can't believe I just typed that sentence )
In a large bowl combine the sugar, flour
and salt. Add the softened butter.
tip:You can soften a stick if butter in the
microwave for 25 seconds on 30% power
Whisk the eggs in another bowl and add the lemon juice,
and zest.
Combine the two and beat until smooth.
I always use the butter wrapper to grease the pan.
Pour in the batter.
Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
Mix the powdered sugar, lemon juice and zest.
Spread on the cooled lemon brownies.
It will make a nice thin glaze.
Cut into squares.
These have a light yet dense texture,
similar to brownies. I'll give them their own
new name......Lemonies!
Enjoy!

Yummy! Looks cool and refreshing. I wonder how many weight watcher points plus these are. Mumzie
These are beautiful and I love all things lemon.
Those sound yummy! I love lemony desserts, and I also love chocolate, too! :)
Hi Rita~ ~ ~
You know I am one of those people who is not crazy about chocolate but I love lemon! Yeah! Thanks for this.
I would rather have a Twizzler than a Hershey's Kiss.

These look amazing! My parents belong to that weird group of chocolat ehaters, but they both love lemon, so this is a great recipe for family events. thanks!
Oh, my those look good, but who in their right mind doesn't like chocolate! Thanks for sharing these at WOW.
Bless you! I love chocolate, but since it gives me migraines I don't eat it anymore. Lemonish things - that's another story, thank goodness. :)
Hard for me to imagine life without chocolate!! Even a chocoholic needs a break every now and then... Thanks for bringing these treats to Friday Potluck!
I am not a chocolate fan, but I LOVE lemon! I made these today and I am sold. Love them!
Oh my goodness these are delicious! Thank you for sharing!! I have already eaten far too many slices and I only made them today!! I have shared your blog on my blog :)
I'm so excited about these! One of my daughter's best friend's doesn't like chocolate-can't wait to make these for her :)
@Mumzie I cut an 8x8 pan into 16 squares and they were 3 PointsPlus.
I made these last night and they are delicious! Thank you!
Just saw these on Pinterest, While I love chocolate, I do like a change every now and then and lemon runs a close second. can't wait to try these!
I love chocolate but it's a safe bet that I'd love these too!
How have I missed this blog?!!! These look heavenly, with the lemon lovers in this house, I'm sure they will be a BIG hit! Cheers, Andrea
Can you tell me how much I'd a stick of butter in ounces or grams?
I'm so excited to try this recipe. Due to a head injury, my taste has been distorted and chocolate no longer tastes good. And brownies were one of my brownie foods,so I will be making these soon. Thank You.
Yum!
I'm now a follower!

I caught this recipe on pinterest... made it today. Ohmyeverlemonlovingbrownie, it is sooo yummy!
please let us overseas folk let us know the weight of a 'stick of butter? I'm dying to make these for my son's lunch (I'm sure I'll sneak a few too...they look devine!)
I tried to reply by email, but you have it blocked.
1 stick of butter is = to 1/2 C or 1/4 pound. Let me know how the recipe worked for you.
Thanks so much for this recipe. Stumbled onto your blog by chance. This recipe was YummO for dinner. My kids are chocolate fans, but their Mama is not. This was just what I wanted. :) Thanks again.
Why do you call them brownies?
Because they have the same consistency and technique as chocolate brownies. It's the 'other' brownie. I should call them lemonies! Great idea!
these look amazing! I just need to get a good egg replacer!
I thought this would be a wonderful recipie to try for my sweets loving family. However you do not have a Print Recipe option. While the photos are very hepful for a new cook, anyone who has been around for a bit would most likely enjoy just being able to print the actual recipe. I will spend the time to copy it long hand however as a rule I will do this only once with any blogger. After that I delete them from my list of who to follow.
I would love to add a print option, but haven't found one that works for me yet. I do put the concise recipe at the bottom so that it's easy to copy and paste to a blank 'compose email' and then print. That's what I do on so many recipe blogs. Still looking for a good and easy print button for my blog.
The flavor of these were great! However, mine turned out more cake-like than brownie like. I don't know what I did wrong :-( I will attempt again though! Thanks for the recipe!
P.S. I like visuals so I think you set up the blog perfectly with having the recipe between the pictures and at the end. :-)
I love the name "lemonies" :-)
And your lemonies are amazing :-) Thanks :-)
It's unfortunate someone feels the need to be obnoxious when other people are giving them free recipes. You don't have to be very computer savvy to copy and paste a recipe into a word document and hit print. In fact, I think that would take less time than bothering to write a rude comment. :-)
These look delicious by the way. I'm one of those crazy people who doesn't like chocolate. We look forward to trying them. Love the name "lemonies!"
