In a large mixing bowl combine the butter, sugar until combined. Then add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and eggs and whisk until smooth.
In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients until the wet ingredients and stir until combined.

Meanwhile, combine the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm blondies, and allow them to cool completely before cutting.
Hint: If you don’t line your baking pan with parchment paper, you will need to spray it with nonstick cooking spray instead.
Storage
Storage – Blondies should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. After that, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Freezing – You can also freeze blondies by placing them in an airtight container or wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap. Simply thaw them at room temperature for a few hours before serving.
Wendy’s Test Kitchen Tips
- Once you add the dry ingredients to your wet ingredients be careful that you don’t overmix. Overmixing can cause you to have tough blondies.
- You can skip the white chocolate chips, or even use lemon chips instead if you want a little extra lemon flavor.
- The glaze will harden once the blondies are completely cool.
