Description
Soft, buttery Snickerdoodle Blondies are chewy bars filled with cinnamon sugar layers and white chocolate morsels. These golden squares combine the nostalgic flavor of snickerdoodle cookies with the rich texture of blondies for an easy, crowd-pleasing dessert.
Ingredients
¾ cup (12 Tbsp; 170g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
¾ cup (150g) packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons Simply Organic Pure Madagascar Vanilla Extract
2⅓ cups (291g) all-purpose flour, spooned & leveled
1½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup (180g) white chocolate morsels, plus 1 tablespoon for topping
Cinnamon-Sugar Filling:
¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, beating until fully combined and smooth.
4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt.
5. Gradually combine dry ingredients with the wet mixture on low speed until just mixed. Fold in 1 cup of white chocolate morsels.
6. Spread half of the dough evenly into the prepared pan.
7. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the filling. Sprinkle evenly over the first dough layer.
8. Flatten the remaining dough into pieces and layer gently over the cinnamon sugar mixture. Sprinkle remaining white chocolate morsels and reserved cinnamon sugar on top.
9. Bake for 32–35 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
10. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour, before lifting out and cutting into squares.
Notes
Bars stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
To freeze, store cooled bars in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
Thaw at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.
Cream of tartar adds a subtle tang and extra chewiness but can be omitted if not available.
