Snickerdoodle Blondies
Last year around this time I finally discovered the most amazing Snickerdoodle cookie recipe. After many miserable failed attempts, I finally found the one. The perfect snickerdoodle cookie that comes out spectacular each and every time. To celebrate the anniversary of the occasion I decided to bake yet another phenomenal snickerdoodle-esque dessert. I haven’t done too much with blondies to date, but the Coconut Chocolate Chunk ones that I made last year are definitely a favorite. I have been meaning to try more varieties, and these snickerdoodle blondies were a great place to start! With a brownie-like texture that melts in your mouth and the characteristic sugary-cinnamon coating that snickerdoodles are known for.

The cinnamon-sugar topping forms a fantastic crackly-crust that adds a perfect complementary texture and flavor to the blondie. These smelled amazing while they were baking, and even better once out of the oven with their warm, cozy, cinnamon aroma wafting from the kitchen throughout the house.

Snickerdoodle Blondies
Ingredients
- 2 ⅔ cups (333.33 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) ground nutmeg
- 2 cups (440 g) packed brown sugar
- 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature, (8 ounces)
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan; set aside.
- 2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium bowl; set aside.
- 3. Beat together the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, and then the vanilla. Beat, scraping the bowl, until thoroughly combined. On low speed, gradually add the flour mixture until just combined. Give the dough a final stir with a spatula or wooden spoon to make sure the flour is incorporated.
- 4. Spread the dough evenly into the pan (I found an offset spatula was the best tool for the job, as it's a thick batter). Combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly over the top of the batter.
- 5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the surface springs back when gently pressed. Cool completely before cutting. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

I love this recipe! I love blondies and snickerdoodles, so putting them together looks amazing!
Ohhhhh wow! These look so incredible. They’re definitely gonna be making an appearance in my kitchen!
How can you not like anything called “snickerdoodle”.
Snickerdoodle Blondies, perfect. What else is there to say. Just perfect.
Oh my goodness…these look absolutely delicious!
Yum! These look lovely… I love the cinnamon sugar crust on the top of those blondies!
These look delicious! Anything with this much cinnamon and sugar is definitely a win in my book :)
I knew right away when I saw this I would have to make it. We love blondies, but sometimes it’s nice to have a break from all things chocolate (did I just say that…). These are fantastic. Love your blog!
wow, these look tasty. love the idea of combining the two, great idea.
To answer your question, I love my pumpkin blondies. But these look wonderful too!
I made these, and they were really good! I took them to work and they were gone before I could even take my first break. One guy even ate 6 pieces of it! My first try at blondies, and I’ll be addicted.
I made these today. And the kitchen smelled wonderful! I don’t usually put nutmeg in snickerdoodles. It was a nice addition, but I am not sure I will put it in next time. My son and daughter love snickerdoodles. They thought these were really good. I take treats for the teachers I work with. I think they will be a hit! Thank you for sharing the recipe!
I have never had a snickerdoodle OR a blondie yet have wanted to make both….. why not kill two birds with one stone!! This recipe is perfect for that!! They look so yummy with the cinnamon sugar topping!
Love blondies, love snickerdoodles. These look fantastic!
I’ve made these with cinnamon chips. Aren’t they so good? Here is my variation. Love your photos!

They look too good to be true! Good thing they’re the real deal ;) And it’s such a GENIOUS idea to heighten the cinnamon flavor with those chips. Thanks for the tip! They put my blondies over the top!

I tried this recipe on Friday and the whole pan is gone!
Looks so delicious. That crust of cinnamon and sugar…to die for. Isn’t it exciting when you find “the one”
I love making snicker doodle bars and cookies! Cinn and Sugar Rock!
you’ve made my favorite cookie a blondie! My heaven.
I’ve made these before and they were so out of this world good! Of course, I think yours turned out prettier than mine did =)
I’ll have to compare my snickerdoodles recipe with yours but I don’t have any good blondies recipe and yours looks soooo yummy!
Those look great! Can’t wait to make.
although i love all sorts of blondies, i have become quite popular amongst my friends for this recipe from Food & Wine:
http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/chocolate-chip-pretzel-bars
it’s got the great salty-sweet combo. i usually add in M&Ms (because hey – why not?) instead of the sprinkles. my friends demand it now for parties, potlucks, etc!
These look delicious, and I love snickerdoodles!!
Looks like we have almost the exact same snickerdoodle blondie recipe! – http://www.onefrugalfoodie.com/2009/12/13/snickerdoodle-blondies-for-a-successful-party/
They are yummy.
I like a traditional blondies made with lots of brown sugar , butter, pecans and coconut ! I made the snickerdoodle blondies last week , I was not too crazy about them , I didn’t think they tasted like snickerdoodles at all . I thought the baking powder was over powering . (maybe it was just me )
I didn’t have the same experience at all. In fact i think I like them MORE than snickerdoodles. The only difference I could taste was that I never put nutmeg in my regular ‘doodles. As for the baking powder, i think maybe you accidentally added too much. There wasn’t any flavor of it at all in mine.
Maybe it was the nutmeg, but I was wondering if I was expecting more of the taste of the cream of tarter in snickerdoodle cookies .
I didn’t taste the baking powder at all, but I wasn’t crazy about the nutmeg.
I love snickerdoodles. They are my all-time favorite cookie. I’ve been looking for the perfect blondie to take on a bus trip next weekend and I’ve found it. I’m sold!
I`m going to do this!
Great variation and recipe! Snickerdoodles are a favorite in our house, and I look forward to making this.
I do! I feel like I also have found “the one” when it comes to blondies… I have a recipe that’s just amazing. I posted it with ugly-ish photos (here: http://onecaketwocake.com/2009/08/04/blondies/) but they’re so delicious it doesn’t matter what they look like. I’ll definitely try these as well though, snickerdoodle blondies sound amazing!
