Cinnamon Blondies Bars (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
3/4 cup of soft unsalted butter.
02 -
3/4 cup regular sugar.
03 -
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar.
04 -
2 room-temperature large eggs.
05 -
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
06 -
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (a bit extra if needed).
07 -
1 and a half teaspoons of baking powder.
08 -
1/2 teaspoon of salt.
09 -
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar.
10 -
1 cup of white chocolate chips, plus a tablespoon for topping.
11 -
1/4 cup of sugar (for filling).
12 -
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for filling).
# Instructions:
01 -
Set the oven to 350°F and get a 9x9-inch pan ready by lining it with parchment paper, making sure some hangs over the sides.
02 -
Cream butter with both sugars until nice and airy (about 2-3 minutes). Mix in eggs and vanilla. Slowly add dry ingredients and stir in 1 cup of chips.
03 -
Spread half the dough into the pan. Sprinkle over the cinnamon-sugar mix, saving a teaspoon for later. Flatten bits of the rest of the dough and layer them on top.
04 -
Scatter the last of the chips on top with the reserved cinnamon-sugar. Bake for 32-35 minutes, until a toothpick almost comes out clean.
05 -
Let it cool completely in the pan (this takes about an hour) before slicing.
# Notes:
01 -
Can be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months.
02 -
The cream of tartar gives a distinct flavor but is optional.
