Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp lemon zest
- 2 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ¼ cups diced fresh strawberries
Glaze Ingredients:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp lemon zest
- dash salt
- 1 Tbsp strawberry puree
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice more or less
Instructions
- Spray a 9x13" baking dish with cooking spray. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Wash and hull the strawberries. Dice and set aside.
- Melt butter in a large bowl. Whisk in the sugars. Add the eggs, lemon juice, and zest and whisk again.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients and stir a few times.
- Gently fold the diced strawberries.
- Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes, or until light golden brown on top.
- For the glaze, finely smash a large strawberry and measure a tablespoon of puree. Whisk together the powdered sugar, zest, salt, puree, and enough lemon juice to make a thin glaze.
- Pour the glaze over the warm bars and spread out evenly.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
The strawberries release moisture as the bars sit, so don't underbake them, or they will get soggy.
