These Zesty Lemon Blondies are a delightful twist on traditional brownies, offering a bright and tangy flavor with a soft, chewy texture.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated to maintain even baking.
Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with butter or line it with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper makes it easier to remove the blondies after baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
Sift the dry ingredients for a smoother batter.
Add the melted butter, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Tap the dish gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Check for doneness a few minutes before the recommended time to prevent overbaking.
Let the blondies cool completely in the dish.
Cooling completely ensures the glaze sets properly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest to make the glaze.
Adjust the glaze consistency by adding more powdered sugar or lemon juice as needed.
Spread the glaze evenly over the cooled blondies.
Use a spatula to achieve a smooth, even layer of glaze.
Cut into squares and serve.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts and wipe the blade between slices.
