Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Spread half of the blondie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  6. In a small bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until smooth. Stir in the cinnamon and nuts (if using).
  7. Dollop spoonfuls of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the blondie batter in the pan.
  8. Spread the remaining blondie batter over the cinnamon-sugar mixture, carefully covering it as much as possible.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  10. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  11. While the blondies are cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth and pourable. Add more milk a teaspoon at a time if needed to reach desired consistency.
  12. Once the blondies are completely cool, drizzle the cinnamon glaze over the top.
  13. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • For extra gooeyness, you can slightly underbake the blondies.
  • Ensure the blondie batter is spread evenly to prevent uneven baking.
  • Allow the blondies to cool completely before glazing for a clean finish.
  • The glaze can be adjusted to your preference for sweetness and thickness.
