Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (plus extra for topping)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing easy removal of the blondies after baking.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of all dry components.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a mixer or by hand, cream the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, adding volume and tenderness.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract to add moisture and build structure for a chewy texture.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a soft and chewy texture.
  6. Add Cinnamon Sugar Topping: Mix cinnamon and granulated sugar together and sprinkle evenly over the batter in the baking pan to create a crisp, flavorful crust after baking.
  7. Bake Until Golden: Bake the blondies in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs for the perfect gooey-chewy balance.
  8. Cool and Slice: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan to set properly before slicing them into squares for neat serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients like softened butter and eggs for a smooth batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep blondies tender instead of cakey.
  • For the cinnamon sugar topping, maintain a 2:1 sugar to cinnamon ratio for ideal crunch and flavor.
  • Monitor baking time closely. Start checking at 25 minutes to prevent drying out.
  • Lining your pan with parchment paper ensures easy removal and clean edges.
