How to make Lemon Raspberry Blondies

Step 1: Cream the butter and sugars together. Mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together in a large bowl for about 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture is light in color, and fluffy.

Step 2: Add in the eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla and stir them into the mixture until just combined.

Step 3: Add in the dry ingredients; flour, baking soda, and salt and stir it together until you have a nice soft cookie dough. Add in the raspberries.

Step 4: Bake the Bars. Press the cookie dough evenly into a greased 9×13 pan. Bake the bars until golden, or a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let the bars cool, then slice!
Tips and Tricks:
- Melted Butter – Melting your butter, then letting it cool slightly will give your bars an extra chewy texture.
- Do not Over Bake – Keep an eye on the blondies while baking, you want them to just be set in the center but they will keep cooking when taken out of the oven. We want to avoid dry bars, and keep them nice and chewy.
- Add white chocolate chips – For a little extra sweetness and texture, stir in 1/2 cup to 1 cup white chocolate chips.
- Cool before Slicing – For clean and even slices cool the bars at room temperature for about an hour, then for an hour or two in the fridge before slicing.

Storage Instructions
Store the blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Because of the raspberries the bars will soften up a bit and become more cakey and less chewy as they sit. You can also freeze the bars in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.

These Lemon Raspberry Blondies are the perfect balance of sweet and tart, soft and chewy. They’re so fresh and perfect for a treat to brighten anyone’s day!
