Easy Cinnamon Sugar Blondies are cozy, chewy dessert bars bursting with warm cinnamon flavor and a sweet, crackly cinnamon‑sugar crust. They come together quickly with pantry staples and deliver snickerdoodle vibes in blondie form.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125 g) all‑purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar + 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, stirring until fully combined.
  4. Stir in the flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt just until a thick batter forms.
  5. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar with the 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
  7. Bake for 22–26 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft (it will firm up as it cools).
  8. Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares. For clean slices, chill briefly in the fridge before cutting.

Notes

  • For extra warmth, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the batter.
  • Stir in white chocolate chips, chopped toasted pecans, or a swirl of cream cheese before baking for extra richness.
  • If you prefer thicker, fudgier blondies, bake in a smaller pan and increase baking time by a few minutes.
  • To keep them soft and chewy, avoid overbaking — watch for set edges and a slightly soft center.
  • Store completely cooled blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
