From start to finish, these stir together blondies come together in less than an hour, no stand mixer required!

Infused with a buttery cinnamon-sugar ribbon and finished with white chocolate drizzle (optional, but highly encouraged), I think you’ll find there’s room for more than one snickerdoodle in your life.

If you’re not a white chocolate fan, top the blondies with vanilla glaze or serve with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of salted caramel sauce or homemade butterscotch sauce!

Key Ingredients

Here’s what you need to make snickerdoodle blondie bars:

• Butter – Use unsalted butter.
• Brown sugar – You can use light or dark brown sugar in this recipe. Dark brown sugar will add a bit more molasses flavor to the bars.
• Egg – One large eggs binds the blondie batter together.
• Vanilla – Pure vanilla extract flavors the blondies.
• Cinnamon – Ground cinnamon flavors the blondie batter and is used in the cinnamon-sugar ribbon. I recommend Vietnamese cinnamon (also known as Saigon cinnamon) for a rich and sweet flavor.
• Salt – For flavor.
• Flour – Use all-purpose flour in this recipe.
• Granulated sugar – Use 2 tablespoons of white sugar for the cinnamon-sugar ribbon.
• White chocolate – You’ll need 3 oz of white chocolate to melt and drizzle over the blondies. I recommend using a white chocolate baking bar (such as Ghirardelli). In a pinch, you can also use white chocolate chips.

How to Make Snickerdoodle Blondies

Melt butter in a large mixing bowl. Add brown sugar, egg, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt to the bowl.

Whisk butter mixture together until smooth. Add flour to the bowl.

Gently fold in flour with a silicone spatula just until incorporated and no streaks remain.

Add blondie batter to a parchment-lined 8-inch baking pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Sprinkle top of the batter evenly with cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Use a toothpick or wooden skewer to swirl the cinnamon-sugar topping with the blondie batter. Gently tap pan once to remove air bubbles.

Bake blondies for 22 to 23 minutes, until golden and set in the middle, and a tester comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached. Cool blondies on a wire rack before drizzling with melted white chocolate.

Chill blondies in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes to set the white chocolate before cutting into squares with a sharp knife.
