We live in a magical age.

An age where you can connect with people almost instantly over technology.

An age where you can work practically from anywhere as long as you have a computer and a wifi connection.

An age where you can ‘drop’ things instantly via phones and computers to friends and family nearby.

…

And occasionally strangers if you’re not paying attention.

Nothing like sitting in a public place and accidentally sending a file of food pictures to a stranger instead of your own phone. It’s fine. You wouldn’t mind receiving a bunch of pictures of these easy Lemon Blondies, right?

Truthfully, I’m not even sure how you recover from that.

Do you raise your hand and make a blanket apology? Don’t make eye contact and pretend it wasn’t you? Call it a fantastic new marketing strategy and say you were trying to gauge people’s reactions?

Moral of the story: make sure you know the name of your phone when you’re file sharing.

And this magical age we live in? At least it has led us to being able to share recipes online for things like Lemon Blondies. They are about as magical as a dessert an be (I mean, if you like lemon desserts. And if you don’t, first of all, WHO ARE YOU, and secondly, I don’t know if we can still be friends).

Instead of swapping embarrassing stories, let’s swap recipes!

Of course, I’m all about this Easy Lemon Blondies Recipe (I mean, that’s why you’re all here, right?? I’m not naive enough to think you’re all just waiting on pins and needles each week for my amazing story telling abilities…😜).

But…once you try these lemon blondies, you should probably also make it a point to try these Strawberry Blondies and these Peach Blondies. And these Cream Cheese Lemon Crinkle Cookies.

Just a suggestion.

Moving on, let’s talk ingredients for these lemon blondies:

LOTS of lemon juice and zest
butter
eggs
sugar (both white and brown)
flour, baking powder, salt
heavy whipping cream + powdered sugar + instant pudding (= stabilized whipped cream)

What makes these a lemon blondie recipe instead of a lemon sugar cookie bar?

While these lemon blondies are very similar to a lemon cookie bar recipe, blondies are slightly more chewier with a more caramelized flavor, which comes from the brown sugar.

However, because I didn’t want the molasses flavor of brown sugar to overpower the lemon flavor, I opted for more of a white (granulated) sugar to brown sugar ratio. Most blondie recipes call for more brown sugar than white sugar, but I switched it up here to ensure the lemon flavor was extremely prominent.

Again, while the ingredients are similar to that of a cookie bar recipe, the amounts used in this recipe yield that perfect chewy blondie texture.

Tips & Tricks for these Easy Lemon Blondies:

The batter will be thick.
Be careful not to over bake blondies. They are supposed to be soft and chewy and “fudge-like,” if you will (sort of similar to that of a brownie).
If you do not want to top them lemon whipped cream, feel free to leave them plain or to top them with a lemon glaze or lemon icing. If you do top them with the whipped cream frosting, they should be refrigerated.
These lemon blondies get their lemon flavor from fresh lemon zest and lemon juice instead of lemon extract.
