Snickerdoodle Blondies

Chewy blondies topped with a cinnamon sugar mixture. Snickerdoodle Blondies are a fun twist on the classic cookies.

There are certain recipes that, as much as I love them, I only make them around the holidays. Like snickerdoodles. They just scream Christmas to me – I think it’s all the cinnamon.

But sometimes, bloggers influence me and after seeing several of my favorite bloggers make them in the last few weeks, I had to make them!

Snickerdoodle blondies are regular blondies with some cinnamon and nutmeg mixed it and then topped with cinnamon sugar. The cinnamon sugar up top reminded me of cinnamon toast and the blondie part was soft and cake-like.

I do have to say that it was weird having all the spicy smells in my kitchen in the middle of July but it was well worth it.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour
• Baking powder
• Cinnamon – this is going in the blondies themselves and the topping. This is what makes a snickerdoodle a snickerdoodle.
• Ground nutmeg – this is also going in the blondie batter and the topping.
• Salt
• Brown sugar – these blondies only have brown sugar (instead of granulated) inside to make sure they are super soft and chewy.
• Butter
• Eggs
• Vanilla extract
• Granulated sugar – this is going to slightly caramelize in the oven and become the crispy topping.

Instructions

• Mix dry ingredients. Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and set aside.
• Mix wet ingredients. In large bowl, beat together butter and brown sugar for 3-5 minutes. Add in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla, and beat until smooth.
• Combine. Stir in the flour mixture until well blended.
• Transfer to pan. Spread evenly in prepared 9×13-inch pan.
• Make topping. Combine the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a little bowl. Evenly sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over the top of the batter.
• Bake. Bake at 350F 25-30 minutes or until surface springs back when gently pressed.
• Cool and serve. Cool before cutting.

How Long Are They Good For?

Blondies are good for up to 3 days at room temperature. Make sure to store them in an airtight container.

If you choose to store them in the fridge, they will stay good for up to a week. Keep in mind that the fridge may dry them out faster than keeping them at room temperature.

Can You Freeze Them?

You can freeze these blondies for up to 3 months. I recommend wrapping each blondie indiviudally in plastic wrap and then placing them in a freezer ziploc bag.

When you are ready to enjoy them, let them sit at room temperature for several hours.
