Ingredient Notes

  • 1 egg yolk

    The cookie dough uses 1 egg yolk because it is a half batch. 1 egg yolk allows for lemon juice to be used as well for extra lemon flavor and the perfect dough consistency without being too runny. The leftover egg white gets uses in the blondie batter.

  • White Chocolate Chips

    White chocolate chips are melted with butter in place of regular chocolate to create a base blondie batter that compliments the lemon flavor really nicely.

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • Step 2

    In a medium bowl melt together the butter and white chocolate until smooth.

  • Step 3

    Whisk in sugar. Add vanilla, egg, and egg white.

  • Step 4

    Whisk in the salt and flour then fold in poppyseeds. Let the batter set in the freezer while you prepare the cookie dough.

  • Step 5

    For the cookie dough, in a medium bowl cream together the butter, lemon zest, and sugar.

  • Step 6

    Add vanilla and egg yolk.

  • Step 7

    Mix in the baking soda, salt, and flour. Add lemon juice as needed to bring the dough together. Feel free to add a small amount of yellow gel food color here to add a brighter yellow color to the dough.

  • Step 8

    Fold in the white chocolate chips.

  • Step 9

    Add alternating scoops of the poppyseed batter and lemon cookie dough to a parchment lined square pan (8x8 works great).

  • Step 10

    Bake for about 35 minutes or until the surface is lightly golden brown and the blondie is cooked through. If the surface begins to darken too much and the middle is still gooey, cover the pan with tin foil and continue baking.
