Strawberry Lemon Blondies: A Sweet and Tangy Delight!

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal of the blondies.
Mix the Dry Ingredients:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream the Butter and Sugar:

In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the Eggs and Flavorings:

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice, and mix until combined.
Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients:

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Add the Strawberries and White Chocolate:

Gently fold in the chopped strawberries and white chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed in the batter.
Bake the Blondies:

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it into an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
Cool and Cut:

Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift them out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut them into squares.
Serve:

Serve these Strawberry Lemon Blondies as a delightful treat with a cup of tea or coffee, or enjoy them on their own as a refreshing dessert.
