Lemon Blondies
Brownies can be either fudgy or cakey. It is considered a hybrid of a cake and cookie. They are level and typically cut into square-like bars. They are not leavened with baking powder hence, they are denser and heavier. Brownies can also be made without chocolate, in a version known as blondies. Hence, this is called Lemon Blondies, but some may still call it Lemon Brownies. I love the dense and fudgy texture and of course, the refreshing lemony taste. The lemon glaze makes it incredibly delicious, so I highly recommend you do the glaze. As usual, it is super easy to make without any tools required.
