# Ingredients:
→ Blondie Base
01 -
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
02 -
3/4 cup sugar
03 -
1 large egg
04 -
1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
05 -
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
06 -
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
07 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
08 -
1 cup diced fresh strawberries
→ Strawberry Glaze
09 -
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
10 -
1 tablespoon strawberry puree (from about 2 large strawberries)
11 -
1 tablespoon lemon juice (or as needed for consistency)
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides for easy removal.
02 -
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg completely, then add lemon juice (mixture may look curdled - this is normal).
03 -
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to wet ingredients, mixing until combined. Gently fold in diced strawberries.
04 -
Spread thick batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake 30-35 minutes until edges are just golden and center is set but still soft.
05 -
Puree strawberries and strain to get 1 tablespoon puree. Mix with powdered sugar and enough lemon juice to reach spreadable consistency.
06 -
When blondies are completely cool, spread glaze over top. Allow glaze to set before cutting into squares.
# Notes:
01 -
Measure flour by fluffing, scooping, then leveling without compacting
02 -
Test glaze consistency before applying to entire batch
03 -
Don't overbake or the blondies will dry out
