How to Make Cinnamon Swirl Snickerdoodle Blondies

Step 1: Prep and Preheat

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease and line an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2: Make the Blondie Batter

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
2. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Step 3: Create the Cinnamon Swirl

1. In a small bowl, mix together granulated sugar and cinnamon.
2. Pour half of the blondie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
3. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
4. Pour the remaining blondie batter on top, spreading it gently.
5. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.

Step 4: Swirl & Bake

1. Use a toothpick or butter knife to create swirls in the batter, gently mixing the cinnamon-sugar into the blondies.
2. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
3. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before slicing.
