1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, for the glaze
1 teaspoon lemon zest, for the glaze
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line or grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth.
3. Add the eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest, then whisk until fully combined.
4. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until no dry streaks remain.
5. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden.
7. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan.

9. Spread the glaze over the cooled blondies.
10. Let the glaze set, then slice into squares and serve.
Notes
Do not overbake the blondies, because even a few extra minutes in the oven can make them dry instead of soft and tender.
