Lemon Cream Cheese Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment or lightly grease it.

  2. In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in 3 tablespoons of lemon juice and the food coloring, if using.

  4. Fold in the flour gently until just combined—do not overmix.

  5. Spread the batter into the prepared baking dish, reserving about ⅓ cup of batter for the top.

  6. In a separate small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and a tablespoon of sugar until smooth.

  7. Dollop spoonfuls of cream cheese mixture onto the batter, gently swirling with a knife or skewer to create a marbled effect.

  8. Spoon the reserved batter on top and gently smooth out if needed.

  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is just slightly jiggly.

  10. Allow the brownies to cool completely.

  11. For the icing, whisk together powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth and drizzly.

  12. Pour the icing over cooled brownies and finish with yellow sprinkles, if using. Let set, slice into squares, and enjoy!
