From My Kitchen ♥ Snickerdoodle Blondies


One of my family's favorite cookies is the Snickerdoodle. In fact, it was my late Grandpa's absolute favorite. Each year as part of our Christmas baking traditions, we bake up a batch and everyone, friends and family, enjoy them to pieces. 

Blondies are a fun little twist on a brownie. The ones that I am sharing about today are a new favorite which combine the yummy and warm flavor of cinnamon and sweetness of sugar. It is a delightful combination that makes the angels sing, I'm sure!

If you're looking for a new Autumn-ish treat that is a bit different and unique, look no further. Here's the answer to your dilemma....

Snickerdoodle Blondies

1 cup softened butter
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs
3 tsp. vanilla
2 2/3 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. salt

In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs in, one at a time. Finally add in the vanilla.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients as you beat on low-medium. Combine thoroughly.

Press the batter into a greased 9x13 inch pan and set aside.

In a small bowl, combine the following:

1 1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Sprinkle evenly over the top of the batter. 

Bake at 350*F for 35040 minutes, or until golden brown.

Cut, serve, and enjoy!
