Introduction
If you love the classic flavors of a snickerdoodle cookie, these Snickerdoodle Blondies will become your new favorite treat! With their rich buttery base and cinnamon-sugar topping, they’re soft in the center with slightly crispy edges, offering the perfect combination of textures in every bite. Whether you’re baking for a party, a family treat, or just for fun, these blondies are a must-try. Each bar is loaded with flavor and has a gooey, cinnamon-infused layer that melts in your mouth.
Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp cream of tartar (optional, for authentic snickerdoodle flavor)
- 2 tbsp cinnamon sugar (for sprinkling on top)
Preparation
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it well.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Next, add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and cream of tartar (if using). Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a thick dough forms.
Step 4: Spread the Dough
Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. For extra snickerdoodle flavor, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the top of the dough.
Step 5: Bake the Blondies
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake as you want the center to remain soft and chewy.
Step 6: Cool and Slice
Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment paper and transfer them to a cutting board. Slice into bars and enjoy the sweet cinnamon goodness!
Cooking Note
For an added twist, you can swirl a layer of cinnamon-sugar into the batter before baking for an extra burst of flavor. If you prefer a denser blondie, use less baking powder and soda. These blondies can also be customized with white chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added texture!
Serving Suggestions
These Snickerdoodle Blondies are perfect served:
- With a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for an indulgent dessert
- With a hot cup of coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon snack
- As a gift for friends and family during the holidays or special occasions
Tips
- If you don’t have cream of tartar, you can omit it. While it adds that classic tangy snickerdoodle flavor, the blondies will still taste amazing without it.
- To achieve the perfect soft texture, be sure not to overbake the blondies. They will continue to set as they cool, so removing them from the oven when they are just slightly underdone in the center will give you that desired chewiness.
