Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 glass baking dish with parchment paper and set it aside.
Cream together butter, sugar, and brown sugar for 1 to 2 minutes.
Add in eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and lemon extract. Beat on medium-high for 3 to 4 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally. The mixture may look a bit separated but should beat into a light, fluffy mixture.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cornstarch.
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix just until combined.
Beat in diced strawberries, just until combined.
Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Bake blondies for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Whisk together glaze ingredients until smooth.
Spread over the warm blondies.
Allow blondies to cool completely before cutting into squares.

If you like a more fudgy texture in the center, you can decrease the flour by ¼ cup.
Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature so that they will incorporate well and your batter comes out with the correct consistency.
Do not overmix your batter, or you may end up with crumbly bars.
Make sure to take the time to flatten the top of the batter so that your bars come out flat on the top. If the batter is sticking to your spoon, spray it with cooking spray to make it easier to flatten the batter.
