- 1 cup unsalted butter - 2 cups brown sugar - 2 large eggs - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 2 cups all-purpose flour For these chewy snickerdoodle blondies, we need some key ingredients. First, we use unsalted butter. It gives a rich flavor and smooth texture. The brown sugar adds moisture and a deep taste. Large eggs help bind everything together. A touch of vanilla extract brings warmth and sweetness. Finally, all-purpose flour gives structure to our blondies. - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1 teaspoon cream of tartar - 1/2 teaspoon salt Next, we mix in our dry ingredients. Baking powder makes the blondies rise and stay soft. Cream of tartar adds a slight tang and helps with texture. A bit of salt balances the sweetness and enhances flavor. - 1/4 cup granulated sugar - 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon For the topping, we combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. This mix gives a lovely sweet and spicy kick. When baked, it forms a delightful crust on top of the blondies. Each bite is a wonderful blend of flavors. - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). - Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Leave some overhang for easy removal. - In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar. Mix until the blend is smooth. - Add the eggs one at a time. Mix well after adding each egg. Stir in the vanilla extract until mixed. - In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, and salt. Whisk them together. - Gradually fold the dry mix into the wet mix. Use a spatula and mix until just combined. Some lumps are okay. - Pour the blondie batter into the prepared pan. Spread it evenly across the pan. - In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle it evenly over the batter. - Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Test with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs. To get that perfect chewy texture, first, do not overmix the batter. When you mix, stop as soon as the dry and wet ingredients blend. A few lumps are perfectly fine. Second, pay close attention to baking time. Bake for 20-25 minutes. You want a toothpick to come out with some moist crumbs, not wet batter. To boost flavor, I suggest using pure vanilla extract. It gives a rich taste. You can also add a pinch of nutmeg to the batter. This little twist adds warmth and depth to the blondies. For best results, use quality ingredients. Fresh brown sugar and unsalted butter work wonders. You will also need a few tools: a large mixing bowl, a whisk, and a spatula. A 9x13 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper makes for easy removal. These tools and ingredients can elevate your baking game! {{image_2}} You can easily change the flavor of these blondies. Adding chocolate chips gives a rich taste. Try mixing in a cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips before baking. You can also add nuts like walnuts or pecans for some crunch. Another fun twist is to use pumpkin spice. This spice mix adds warmth and a seasonal flair. Just swap out some cinnamon for pumpkin spice. It’s perfect for fall! If you need gluten-free options, you can use gluten-free flour. This swap keeps the texture light and chewy. For those who prefer vegan recipes, you can replace eggs with flax eggs. Mix one tablespoon of flaxseed meal with three tablespoons of water. Let it sit for a few minutes until it thickens. This works well in the recipe and keeps it delicious. Serve your blondies warm with a scoop of ice cream. Vanilla or cinnamon ice cream pairs well. You can also top them with whipped cream for extra creaminess. For a healthier option, try adding fresh fruit or a berry sauce. If you want gluten-free or dairy-free toppings, use coconut whipped cream or dairy-free ice cream. These options let everyone enjoy this tasty dessert! To keep your Chewy Snickerdoodle Blondies fresh, store them in an airtight container. This step helps lock in moisture and flavor. Place a piece of parchment paper between layers if you stack them. You can store these blondies at room temperature for up to four days. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. To freeze your blondies, first let them cool completely. Then, wrap each square tightly in plastic wrap. Place the wrapped blondies in a freezer-safe bag or container. They will stay fresh for about three months in the freezer. When you're ready to enjoy them, thaw them in the fridge overnight or at room temperature for a few hours. For the best taste, reheat your blondies in the oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the blondies on a baking sheet and heat for about 5-10 minutes. This method keeps them chewy and soft. You can also use the microwave for a quick option. Heat them in 10-second bursts until warm, but be careful not to overheat them. Yes, you can use margarine instead of butter. However, the taste and texture may change. Butter gives a richer flavor. If you use margarine, choose a stick form for best results. To check if your blondies are done, insert a toothpick in the center. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they're ready. Do not wait for it to come out clean. Overbaking will make them dry. Absolutely! You can make the blondies a day in advance. After baking, let them cool and store them in an airtight container. They stay fresh and tasty for up to three days. Blondies and brownies are both tasty treats but differ in flavor and texture. Brownies contain cocoa powder, which gives them a chocolate flavor. Blondies, on the other hand, have a rich, buttery taste with hints of vanilla and cinnamon. You now know how to make delicious blondies with simple steps and ingredients. Remember to follow the mixing and baking tips for a chewy texture. Feel free to explore flavor variations, from adding chocolate chips to using seasonal spices. Proper storage will keep them fresh, so you enjoy them longer. These blondies can brighten any gathering or snack time. Embrace your creativity and make this recipe your own.
