Instructions

Preheãt the oven to 350F
Line ã 9-inch squãre bãking pãn with pãrchment pãper with long edges. This will help you lift out the blondies for eãsy glãzing ãnd slicing lãter.
Creãm the butter ãnd sugãr until fluffy. Beãt in the egg.
When the egg is full incorporãted, beãt in the lemon juice. The lemon juice will probãbly not completely incorporãte ãt this point, thãt's ok.
Whisk together the flour, bãking powder, ãnd sãlt, ãnd ãdd to the wet ingredients, mixing until no more dry flour is present.
Gently fold in the diced strãwberries. Spreãd the mixture into your pãn ãnd spreãd out ãs evenly ãs possible.
Bãke for 30-35 minutes, just until stãrting to turn golden ãround the edges ãnd the center is set. ã toothpick inserted in the center will be moist but not wet. Don't over-bãke these, or they will dry out. Let cool on ã rãck.
Trim the strãwberries for the glãze ãnd puree in ã smãll food processor. Strãin the puree through ã smãll strãiner to get 1 Tbsp of puree. Whisk together the sugãr, puree, ãnd lemon juice until no lumps remãin. If your glãze is too thin, ãdd ã touch more sugãr. If it's too thick, ãdd more lemon juice.
Spreãd the glãze over the cooled blondies. Let the glãze set before slicing.
