Ingredients
Blondies
- 10 Tbsp (140 g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar
- 1 large egg (50 g), at room temperature
- 1 tsp (4 g) vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup (140 g) all-purpose flour
Cinnamon-Sugar
- 2 Tbsp (25 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Topping
- 3 oz (85 g) white chocolate, coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- Make blondies: Melt butter in a large bowl. Add brown sugar, egg, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt to mixing bowl and whisk until smooth. Fold in flour just until incorporated. Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth batter with an offset spatula.
- Cinnamon sugar ribbon: Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar evenly over batter. Swirl together with a toothpick or wooden skewer; gently tap pan once to remove air bubbles.
- Bake blondies for 22 to 23 minutes, until golden and set in the middle, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
- White chocolate drizzle: Place white chocolate in a double boiler or in a heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water. Slowly melt the chocolate, stirring occasionally until glossy and smooth. Transfer white chocolate to a small piping bag and drizzle over blondies; chill in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes to set chocolate. Carefully lift parchment to remove bars from pan and place on a cutting board; cut into squares with a sharp knife.
- Store leftover blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 to 3 days.
Notes
Brown sugar: You can make these blondies with light or dark brown sugar.
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).
