- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted - 1 cup packed brown sugar - 1/2 cup granulated sugar - 2 large eggs, at room temperature - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract - 2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda - 1 teaspoon cream of tartar - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar (1 tablespoon cinnamon and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar) You can swap unsalted butter for coconut oil or margarine. This will change the flavor slightly. Use brown sugar for all the sugar if you want richer blondies. If you want a dairy-free option, use almond milk instead of eggs. You can also use a flax egg. Mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 2.5 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for a few minutes before adding it to the mix. For the flour, you can use a gluten-free blend. Just make sure it has xanthan gum. Using high-quality ingredients makes a big difference. Fresh eggs and pure vanilla extract boost flavor. Choose unsalted butter for better control over salt levels. Fresh spices like cinnamon enhance taste. Use good flour without any additives for the best texture. Quality ingredients lead to better results, making your blondies more enjoyable. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Next, prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan. You can grease it well or line it with parchment paper. This helps with easy removal later. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of melted unsalted butter, 1 cup of packed brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Whisk until it looks smooth and glossy. Then, add 2 large eggs one by one. Whisk well after each egg. Finally, mix in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, sift together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add this dry mix to your wet mix. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; this keeps your blondies chewy. Pour the thick batter into your prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly. Make sure there are no dry spots. Now, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of cinnamon sugar over the top. This gives your blondies that classic snickerdoodle taste. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Check with a toothpick in the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to keep the best texture. Once baked, take the blondies out of the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. If you used parchment paper, carefully lift the blondies out and place them on a wire rack. Let them cool completely. Once cooled, you can cut them into squares for serving. For a cute presentation, arrange the squares on a nice platter and sprinkle some extra cinnamon sugar on top. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat! To get the best texture, mix the wet and dry ingredients just enough. Overmixing can make your blondies tough. You want them soft and chewy. Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter. They help blend better. Also, don’t skip the cream of tartar. It gives that snickerdoodle taste and helps with the rise. If you like less sweetness, cut back on the granulated sugar. You can use a little less than half a cup. For a more intense flavor, add more cinnamon sugar. Just sprinkle more on top before baking. This gives your blondies a nice, sweet kick without being too much. One big mistake is baking too long. Keep an eye on your blondies, especially after 20 minutes. Check with a toothpick; it should have some moist crumbs. Another mistake is not greasing the pan properly. This can make it hard to remove the blondies. Use parchment paper for easy lifting. Lastly, don’t skip cooling them before cutting. This helps them hold their shape better! {{image_4}} You can change up your snickerdoodle blondies by adding fun flavors. Try mixing in 1 cup of chopped nuts, like walnuts or pecans. They add a nice crunch. You can also add 1 cup of chocolate chips for a sweet twist. The rich chocolate pairs well with the cinnamon flavor. If you need a gluten-free option, swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free blend. Make sure the blend has xanthan gum for the best texture. This change keeps the blondies chewy and delightful without gluten. When serving your blondies, think outside the box. You can warm them up in the microwave for a few seconds. Serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Drizzle some caramel sauce for extra sweetness. For a festive touch, sprinkle some extra cinnamon sugar before serving.

Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs, at room temperature

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cream of tartar

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar (a mix of 1 tablespoon cinnamon and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal later.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well integrated, resembling a glossy paste.

      Crack the eggs into the bowl one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Follow with the vanilla extract, ensuring everything is well blended.

        In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring gently until the batter is just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure your blondies remain chewy.

          Pour the thick batter into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and ensure there are no dry patches.

            Generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the top of the batter, ensuring an even layer for that signature snickerdoodle flavor.

              Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on them, and check with a toothpick inserted into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for the best texture!

                Once baked, remove the blondies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. If using parchment paper, carefully lift the blondies out and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into squares for serving.
