Yes, there is!!

Well, it turns out that lemon brownies have a bit of history with surprising roots in the U.S., down in the Deep South! Jesse Oleson Moore, aka Cake Spy, said she first heard about this citrus-y spin on a brownie when Paula Deen rolled out an orange brownie on her Food Network show more than 10 years ago. There are also hundreds of gorgeous lemon brownie photos on Pinterest. And the recipe has been a bright spot recently on many food blogs. There’s even a Weight Watchers-inspired gluten-free version from Gluten-Free on A Shoestring.

No matter what you call them, these chewy cookie bars certainly do seem to speak to a growing number of sweets enthusiasts who might be looking for an alternative to the ubiquitous chocolate brownie.

So, search the web, find a recipe, capture it in Cook'n and head to your kitchen! Yum!
