  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 9 servings

Ingredients

Blondie Batter

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Cinnamon Topping

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Cream Cheese Glaze

  • 1 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 3 tablespoons butter (softened)
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal of the blondies.
  2. Make Blondie Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract; whisk until the mixture is thick and glossy, ensuring full incorporation.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until evenly mixed.
  4. Fold Dry into Wet: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix to keep the blondies tender.
  5. Spread Batter: Spread the blondie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with the spatula.
  6. Add Cinnamon Topping: In a small bowl, stir together granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle spoonfuls of this mixture over the surface of the batter, covering it fully for a sweet cinnamon swirl.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30–36 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the center is just slightly soft. The blondies will continue to set as they cool.
  8. Cool: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before adding the glaze to prevent melting.
  9. Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and creamy. Add a little more milk if the glaze is too thick for drizzling.
  10. Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the cooled blondies. Use the parchment overhang to lift the blondies out of the pan and slice into squares. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure eggs are at room temperature to help the batter mix evenly.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the blondies soft and tender.
  • Use parchment paper with an overhang for easy removal of the blondies from the pan.
  • The cinnamon topping can be adjusted to taste for more or less sweetness and spice.
  • Let blondies cool fully before glazing to avoid glaze melting and running off.
  • Store blondies airtight at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
