Snickerdoodle Blondies

I have always been a huge fan of snickerdoodles, so when I came across this recipe I just had to give it a try! The results were dangerously good, and I plan on making them many more times in the future.  

I found the recipe over at Sally's Baking Addiction and didn't change a thing! 

Bars

• 2 and 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3/4 (1.5 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup white chocolate chips

Filling

• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 1 Tbsp light brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon

Glaze

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 Tbsp half and half (or milk or cream)
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

In a bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt. 

In a separate bowl or stand mixer, beat together butter and sugars until creamy. 

On low speed, add dry ingredients 

Stir in white chocolate chips by hand. 

These make the bars a tad more on the super sweet side in my opinion, so if you don't have much of a sweet tooth I would leave these out. 

Mix together the cinnamon, sugar, and brown sugar to make the filling. 

Spoon half of the batter in a greased baking dish. 

Sprinkle filling 

Add the rest of the batter on top 

Some of the filling might get mixed into the top layer. This can be tricky since the batter gets stuck to the spoon, and mine didn't turn out as pretty as the recipe I was following, but they still turn out just as delicious! 

Bake at 350F for 22-26 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted. 

Let cool for 1 hour

When cooled, stir together icing ingredients and drizzle over bars. 

Makes about 24 small bars.
