1/2 cup unsalted butter melted, warm

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line an 8 x 8 inch square pan with enough parchment paper to create an overhang of at least two inches on two sides.
In a medium sized bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, cardamom and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter with the brown sugar until combined. Add the vanilla, lemon zest and the egg and whisk to combine. With a spatula, fold in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the strawberries and white chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the baking pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula.
Bake for 25-30 minutes. Place the pan on a wire rack and allow blondies to cool completely in the pan.

Notes

Strawberries: Frozen strawberries can be used in place of fresh. Allow frozen berries to thaw at room temperature before baking.
Storage: Store leftover strawberry white chocolate blondies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Store the cooled and sliced strawberry lemon bars in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. I recommend tightly double wrapping them with plastic freezer wrap or aluminum foil. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
