Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter melted
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
5. Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
7. Mix topping sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle evenly over the batter.
8. Bake for 20–25 minutes until edges are golden and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
9. Cool completely before slicing into squares and serving.
Notes
Let the blondies cool fully before slicing to keep clean edges and perfect texture.
Slightly browning the butter adds a deeper, nutty flavor to the blondies.
Do not overbake—slightly underbaked centers keep them soft and chewy.
