Snickerdoodle Blondies

These blondies have made their rounds on the blogosphere and for good reason. They are divine, amazing, fantastic, drool-worthy, delicious.... well, you get the point! If you enjoy snickerdoodles, then you will love these bars.

They are so simple, but sometimes the simple desserts are the best. I'm willing to bet you have all the ingredients to make them, too, so go whip up a batch! Or, better yet, make a double batch because they won't last long!


Snickerdoodle Blondies
Recipe from Dozen Flours

2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup butter, at room temperature
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch pan.

Sift together flour, baking powder and salt and set aside. In large bowl, beat together butter, sugar, egg and vanilla until smooth.Stir in the flour mixture until well blended. Spread evenly in prepared pan (mixture will be somewhat cookiebatter-ish.)

Combine white sugar and cinnamon in a little bowl. Evenly sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over the top of the batter.

Bake 25-30 minutes or until surface springs back when gently pressed. Cool slightly. While still warm, cut into bars with a sharp knife.

  2. Thanks for the great compliments Cristine! I am delighted to hear that you liked my blondies so much. I've been so inspired by all the buzz about them that over the weekend I came up with aSnickerdoodle Cake. You'll have to give that a try next. :)

  4. Christine, I'm so glad you tried and loved them. While its not recipe I've been making these for forever. I make them all the time. They are ALL THREE of my children's favorite dessert. If I ask anyone of them what they would like for me to bake 'em, they ALWAYS say snickerdoodle blondies. I tried Peabody's version and the kids told me to stop "messing with Miss Julia's recipe" (as they call her). I didn't tell them it was a totally different one.

    Oh, and your photo of them turned out terrific!
