These snickerdoodle blondies feature a warm cinnamon sugar crust with a chewy edge and soft, buttery center, perfect for cozy moments and simple comfort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups (155g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Cinnamon sugar topping:
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy blondie removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and slightly glossy, about 1-2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt to ensure even distribution and avoid clumps.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture using a rubber spatula. Fold gently until just combined—do not overmix. The batter will be thick and shiny.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the blondie batter in the pan.
  6. Place the pan in the center of the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Start checking at 25 minutes by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter. The edges should be golden and slightly crisp.
  7. Let the blondies cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing to help the crust set and the blondies firm up for clean cuts.

Notes

If the crust browns too quickly, tent the pan loosely with foil halfway through baking. Use fresh-ground cinnamon for best aroma. For gluten-free, substitute with 1:1 gluten-free baking flour. For dairy-free/vegan, replace butter with coconut oil and eggs with flax eggs. Adding nuts or chocolate chips is optional and delicious.
