Make these soft and chewy Snickerdoodle Blondies that feature a rich, buttery base and a warm cinnamon swirl. This easy recipe delivers indulgent dessert bars with classic snickerdoodle flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus 1/4 cup for topping
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for batter)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until well combined.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or by hand until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
  6. Press about two-thirds of the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  7. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon to create the swirl topping mixture.
  8. Drop small spoonfuls of the remaining batter over the base layer. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar topping evenly over the top of the batter.
  9. Use a butter knife or skewer to gently swirl the topping mixture into the batter, creating ribbons of cinnamon flavor.
  10. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  11. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
  12. Cut into squares before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra chewy texture, slightly underbake the blondies by about 2 minutes. The center should look slightly soft when you remove them from the oven.
  • If you want a richer flavor, substitute 1/4 cup of the all-purpose flour with almond flour.
  • You can add 1 cup of white chocolate chips to the batter for a sweeter, more decadent treat.
