Soft, chewy cinnamon sugar blondies with a buttery brown sugar base and a sparkly cinnamon topping, inspired by classic snickerdoodle flavor in easy bar form.

Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

1½ cups packed light brown sugar

½ cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs, room temperature

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

2½ cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt (omit if using salted butter)

2 tablespoons milk or buttermilk

¼ cup granulated sugar (for topping)

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for topping)

1 tablespoon melted butter (for topping)

Optional: ½ cup white chocolate chips

Optional: ½ cup cinnamon chips

Optional: ½ cup chopped pecans

Optional: ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang.
  2. In a large bowl, stir melted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until combined.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and milk.
  4. Add flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold until just combined.
  5. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  6. Brush the top lightly with melted butter.
  7. Mix cinnamon and sugar for topping and sprinkle evenly over the batter.
  8. Bake for about 25 minutes, until edges are set and center is slightly soft.
  9. Cool in pan, then lift out and slice into bars.

Notes

Do not overmix to keep blondies soft and chewy.

Vietnamese cinnamon gives a bolder flavor.

Bars firm up as they cool.

Great for baking ahead.
