Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar mix (typically 1 tablespoon cinnamon + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it thoroughly. Measure out all ingredients so the process flows smoothly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon to ensure even distribution of the dry components and the warm cinnamon flavor.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a larger bowl, beat the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This step is key to creating moist, tender blondies with a beautiful crumb.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, blending until smooth and silky—forming the batter’s base.
  5. Combine and Incorporate: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the blondies soft and chewy.
  6. Add Cinnamon Sugar Topping: Spread the batter evenly in your prepared pan and sprinkle a generous layer of cinnamon sugar over the top, creating that classic snickerdoodle crust.
  7. Bake and Cool: Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for better blending with sugars and a creamy batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough blondies; mix just until combined.
  • Watch your bake time; removing the blondies slightly underbaked ensures extra softness once cooled.
  • Don’t skimp on the cinnamon sugar topping—it provides the hallmark flavor and texture contrast.
  • Let the blondies rest before cutting to help firm up for clean slices.
