The dough comes collectively shortly with the assistance of an electrical mixer. Count on a thick, creamy, very sticky dough:

Take about half of the dough (simply eyeball it) and plop it right into a 9-inch sq. baking pan lined with parchment paper. I all the time suggest lining the pan with parchment paper for brownies and bars, and leaving a little bit little bit of overhang on the perimeters. This makes it tremendous simple to elevate the bars out of the pan and switch to a slicing board to slice into squares.

Now comes the difficult half: urgent this sticky, thick, buttery dough into the pan. The easiest way to do that is with generously floured palms. Maintain a small bowl of flour close by and re-flour your palms as wanted.

Upon getting the primary half of the snickerdoodle blondie dough pressed in a fair layer to cowl the underside of the pan, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar combination excessive of it. Reserve 1 teaspoon to sprinkle on high earlier than baking.

Now, high the cinnamon swirl layer with the remaining blondie dough. Once more, generously flour your palms for this step. Take a handful of dough and press it between your palms to flatten it, then place it on high of the cinnamon swirl layer. Repeat with the remaining dough, a handful at a time, re-flouring your palms as typically as wanted. Lay the “shingles” of dough gently subsequent to 1 one other, form of like puzzle items.

Attempt to meld them collectively, like this:

Flippantly sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar excessive, then bake. Let the snickerdoodle blondies cool utterly within the pan earlier than slicing them into squares. The bars are fairly thick, so you’ll be able to lower the pan into 20 small bars. Or, for additional beneficiant servings, lower the pan into 16 bars.

The sides are additional chewy and the facilities are oh-so smooth. There’s white chocolate chips aplenty and the sticky cinnamon-sugar swirl will make you weak on the knees.

And if snickerdoodles are your factor, don’t sleep on these recipes: traditional snickerdoodles (a no-chill cookie recipe), caramel snickerdoodles, and maple pecan snickerdoodles. Oh, and don’t neglect snickerdoodle cupcakes and snickerdoodle cake!
