Ingredients
  

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)

Instructions
 

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring there’s some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.

    In a large mixing bowl, pour in the melted butter. Add the packed brown sugar and granulated sugar, then whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

      Crack the eggs into the bowl, adding them one at a time. Whisk well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated into the batter.

        In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and ground cinnamon. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agents and spices.

          Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine to achieve the best texture in your blondies.

            Pour the thick batter into your prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly to the edges, ensuring a uniform thickness.

              In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the top of the blondie batter for that signature snickerdoodle flavor.

                Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean with a few moist crumbs attached.

                  Once baked, remove the blondies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes. Then, carefully lift them out using the parchment paper overhang and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    After cooling, slice into squares or bars. Serve and enjoy the deliciousness of your homemade Snickerdoodle Blondie Bars!
