1-Ready to get baking? Starting with the basics, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup. This step ensures your Snickerdoodle Blondies come out clean and intact every time. Mix the wet ingredients first to build a smooth base that makes the whole process feel effortless.

2-Once your oven is ready, cream together 1 cup unsalted butter, softened, with 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cup light brown sugar in a large bowl. Add 2 large eggs and 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, blending until smooth. Then, stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, and 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour until no streaks remain.

3-Shaping and Baking Lightly grease your hands and press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan for a uniform bake. Sprinkle the topping made from 1/4 cup granulated sugar mixed with 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon over the batter to add that classic crunch. Pop it in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, keeping an eye on it to avoid overcooking.

4-After baking, let the Snickerdoodle Blondies cool completely before slicing; this helps them set up nicely. With a total prep time of 10 minutes and cook time of 25 minutes, you’ll have fresh treats in no time. Remember, using an internal oven thermometer can make a big difference for even results.
