Ingredients
- 170g unsalted butter, melted
- 200g light brown sugar
- 100g granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 220g all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 120g powdered sugar for glaze
- 1 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice for glaze
- 1 tsp lemon zest for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition, then stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth and pourable.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled blondies and sprinkle with additional lemon zest.
Let the glaze set for 10 minutes before cutting into 12 squares and serving.
