Ingredients

Batter

1 cup 2 Sticks butter, softened to room temperature
¾ cup sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
¼ cup lemon Juice
1 tsp lemon extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 cup strawberries diced
1 Tbsp lemon zest
½ cup white chocolate chips

Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp lemon extract
2 strawberries or 1 teaspoon of seedless strawberry jam

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° degrees.
Prepare a 9 X 9 square pan with cooking spray and flour or parchment paper.
Cream the butter and sugar for about 2-3 minutes or until fluffy. Add the egg and egg yolk and beat for another 2-3 minutes.
Add the lemon juice and lemon extract and beat for another minute.
In a small bowl, whisk the flour, salt and baking powder together. Add to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined.
Gently fold in the diced strawberries, lemon zest and white chocolate chips. Spread the mixture evenly into the pan, making sure the corners are filled.
Bake for 30 - 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Do not overbake. Set the pan on a wire rack to cool.

Make the glaze

Make the glaze by putting 2 strawberries into a food processor and then straining through a sieve afterwards. You could use a teaspoon of seedless strawberry jam instead.
Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and lemon extract to the strawberries and whisk together. You may need to add 1 teaspoon of water if the glaze is too thick.
If the glaze is a bit too runny, let it set in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes before icing. Spread the glaze on cooled blondies. Slice and serve.
