Ingredients
  

Group: Blondies
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • ¼ tsp. baking soda
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips optional, but highly recommended
Group: Cinnamon Sugar Topping
  • 2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Equipment

  • Oven
  • 8x8 inch baking dish
  • Medium bowl
  • Spatula
  • Small bowl
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take this time to gather your ingredients and get ready for some baking fun!
  2. Grease an 8x8-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  4. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually incorporate these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the white chocolate chips if you’re using them.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into your prepared baking dish.
  8. Mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle this mixture generously over the top of your blondie batter.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Allow the blondies to cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes, then lift them out with the parchment paper and let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

These blondies continue to cook as they cool, so it's best to take them out when they still have a slight jiggle in the center.
