Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • ¾ cup sugar granulated
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • ¼ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice for a bright citrusy flavor
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour measured accurately see notes
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder helps the blondies rise
  • ½ teaspoon salt enhances flavor
  • 1 cup diced fresh strawberries cut into small chunks for even distribution
For the glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar sifted measure before sifting
  • 1 tablespoon strawberry puree from about 2 large strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice to thin the glaze to a spreadable consistency

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving edges hanging over for easy removal.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg until fully combined.
  4. Add the fresh lemon juice to the mixture. It may not fully incorporate at this point, but that's okay.
  5. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.
  7. Transfer the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. The dough will be thick, so be patient.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (with a few moist crumbs). Don't overbake to avoid dryness.
  9. Once the blondies have cooled to room temperature, prepare the glaze. Trim the strawberries and puree them in a small food processor. Strain the puree to get exactly 1 tablespoon.
  10. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, strawberry puree, and lemon juice until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, thin it out with a little more lemon juice. If it's too thin, add more powdered sugar.
  11. Spread the glaze over the cooled blondies. Let it set for a few minutes before slicing.
