  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 –3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth.
  3. Add the egg, lemon zest, and lemon juice; whisk to combine.
  4. Add the flour and salt, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the diced strawberries.
  6. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center looks slightly soft.
  8. Let cool completely.
  9. For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth.
  10. Drizzle glaze over the blondies, allow it to set, then slice and serve.

Notes

• Pat strawberries dry to prevent excess moisture.
• Add white chocolate chips for a richer, sweeter blondie.
• Chill the blondies for a firmer, cheesecake-like texture.
• Use orange zest instead of lemon for a citrus variation.
• Store in the refrigerator for best freshness.
