Snickerdoodle Blondies Recipe Snapshot

- Texture: One of many many causes folks love blondies a lot is their unparalleled texture. Thick, dense, chewy, and studded with bits of white chocolate, these bars are a texture lover’s dream.

- Time: The batter comes collectively rapidly with an electrical mixer, and the pan takes simply over half-hour to bake. No dough chilling, and no particular person cookie dough ball rolling and coating. You do have to attend for the snickerdoodle blondies to chill earlier than you’ll be able to minimize them, nonetheless. (Correction: That’s the toughest half.)
Seize These Primary Elements:
- Butter: A key taste in blondies, we’re creaming the butter with the sugars, so be certain that to make use of correct room-temperature butter. Utilizing melted butter, which is widespread in blondies, made these means too dense. Stick to creamed butter as instructed beneath.
- Sugars: We’re utilizing each white and brown sugars to sweeten these treats.
- Eggs: To bind the components collectively.
- Vanilla: One other key taste in blondies.

The dough comes collectively rapidly with the assistance of an electrical mixer. Count on a thick, creamy, very sticky dough:
Take about half of the dough (simply eyeball it) and plop it right into a 9-inch sq. baking pan lined with parchment paper. I all the time suggest lining the pan with parchment paper for brownies and bars, and leaving just a little little bit of overhang on the perimeters. This makes it tremendous straightforward to raise the bars out of the pan and switch to a chopping board to slice into squares.
Now comes the difficult half: urgent this sticky, thick, buttery dough into the pan. One of the best ways to do that is with generously floured fingers. Preserve a small bowl of flour close by and re-flour your fingers as wanted.
Upon getting the primary half of the snickerdoodle blondie dough pressed in a fair layer to cowl the underside of the pan, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar combination excessive of it. Reserve 1 teaspoon to sprinkle on high earlier than baking.
Now, high the cinnamon swirl layer with the remaining blondie dough. Once more, generously flour your fingers for this step. Take a handful of dough and press it between your fingers to flatten it, then place it on high of the cinnamon swirl layer. Repeat with the remaining dough, a handful at a time, re-flouring your fingers as usually as wanted. Lay the “shingles” of dough gently subsequent to 1 one other, type of like puzzle items.
Attempt to meld them collectively, like this:
Calmly sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar excessive, then bake. Let the snickerdoodle blondies cool fully within the pan earlier than chopping them into squares. The bars are fairly thick, so you’ll be able to minimize the pan into 20 small bars. Or, for additional beneficiant servings, minimize the pan into 16 bars.
The sides are additional chewy and the facilities are oh-so smooth. There’s white chocolate chips aplenty and the sticky cinnamon-sugar swirl will make you weak on the knees.
And if snickerdoodles are your factor, don’t sleep on these recipes: traditional snickerdoodles (a no-chill cookie recipe), caramel snickerdoodles, and maple pecan snickerdoodles. Oh, and don’t neglect snickerdoodle cupcakes and snickerdoodle cake!
