Cinnamon Sugar Blondies
Chewy, buttery Cinnamon Sugar Blondies with a crackly cinnamon-sugar crust. Quick to make and perfect for any season. Ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 5 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
Step 2: Mix the Blondie Batter
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Stir in the beaten egg and vanilla extract until well blended.
- Add the flour and a pinch of salt, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the blondies soft and chewy.
Step 3: Assemble and Top
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
- Sprinkle this cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the batter to create a crackly, caramelized crust.
Step 4: Bake
- Bake for 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool the blondies in the pan for about 10 minutes before lifting them out with the parchment paper to cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 5: Slice and Serve
- Once cooled, cut the blondies into squares.
- Serve with coffee, tea, or a cold glass of milk for a classic treat.
