Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Step 3: Combine the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 4: Pour into the Baking Pan
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 5: Add the Cinnamon Sugar Topping
In a small bowl, mix the remaining granulated sugar with the cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the blondie batter.
Step 6: Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake, as you want the blondies to remain soft and chewy.
Step 7: Cool and Cut
Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
