Lemon Brownie Squares
If you think brownies start and stop with chocolate...you haven't tried lemon! The moist, chewy goodness of a brownie infused with bright, sour lemon flavor and topped with a light lemon glaze!

Notes
If you don't have parchment paper, feel free to just grease the pan with baking spray. You can also apply the glaze over the brownies in the pan.
Lemon extract is optional, but I feel like it really gives the brownies extra lemon flavor that is nice.
