Description
Cinnamon Sugar Blondies are the perfect mashup of buttery blondies and classic snickerdoodle flavor.

They’re made with simple pantry ingredients and come together in just one bowl, making them an easy treat for holidays, potlucks, or casual weeknight cravings.
Ingredients
For the Blondie Base:
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 ½ cups brown sugar (light or dark)
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 egg yolk
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:
3 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy.
Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—do not overmix.
Spread the Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Add Cinnamon Sugar Topping: Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the batter. For a swirled effect, lightly drag a knife through the top layer.
Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool and Slice: Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
For richer flavor, use dark brown sugar.
Avoid overbaking for maximum chewiness.
Optional mix-ins: white chocolate chips, chopped pecans, or raisins.
Spice it up with a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom.
These blondies freeze beautifully—wrap individually and store up to 3 months.
