Easy Snickerdoodle Blondies

INGREDIENTS

• 2 2/3 cups flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 2 cups packed brown sugar
• 1 cup salted butter, room temperature
• 2 eggs
• 1 Tbsp vanilla
Cinnamon topping:
• 2 Tbsp white sugar
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Combine the butter, eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla. I used my mixer and it worked great!
2. Add in the dry ingredients (flour and baking powder).
3. Spread in a greased 9x13 inch pan. The batter will be thick almost like a cookie mixture.
4. Combine the cinnamon topping ingredients and sprinkle over the top.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until top springs back when pressed. Once it cools, it will harden more.
