Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest (about 2 lemons)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (for glaze)

  7. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Cool the blondies in the baking dish for 10-15 minutes, then prepare the glaze.
  9. Drizzle the glaze on top of the cooled blondies and finish with lemon zest if desired.
