Equipment

9 x 9 inch pan

Ingredients

1 cup butter unsalted, at room temperature (2 sticks)
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
2/3 cup lemon juice fresh squeezed
2 1/4 cups flour all purpose
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup blackberries fresh or frozen, chopped

Glaze:

1 cup blackberries fresh or frozen
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons lemon juice fresh squeezed
1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Blondies:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
Beat together the 1 cup butter and 3/4 cup sugar until fluffy. Add the 2 large eggs.
Once the eggs are incorporated, add 2/3 cup lemon juice and combine.
Whisk together 2 1/4 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt, then add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in 1 cup blackberries.
Using a rubber spatula, spread the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake 30-35 minutes, until cooked through. Edges will be slightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center will come out clean. Let cool completely (about 1 hour).

Glaze:

In a small saucepan combine 1 cup blackberries, 2 Tablespoons sugar and 2 Tablespoons lemon juice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 2-3 minutes, until sugar dissolves and the blackberries start to break down. Process with a food processor or blender, then pass through a fine mesh sieve to get rid of any seeds.
Add 1 cup powdered sugar to a small bowl and start by adding the berry puree, tablespoon by tablespoon, until the glaze is your desired consistency. Spread glaze over cooled blondies and serve.
