Snickerdoodle Blondies

I love blondies, and I love snickerdoodles, so Snickerdoodle Blondies definitely caught my eye!
The great thing about these blondies was how easy they were to mix up: just a quick batter of the basics - all ingredients I, and most people, keep around in their pantries.

Press the mixture down into a 9x13" pan, as you can see, I used my fingers.
Then the dough gets sprinkled liberally with a cinnamon-sugar mixture, meant to imitate the coating found on traditional snickerdoodles.
As it bakes up, the cinnamon and sugar browns and creates a delicious, sweet topping for the blondies.
I really liked these - they were so easy to make, and really delicious, plus an interesting variation on traditional blondies. They had almost a raw cookie dough texture - really rich and chewy, while still being fully cooked. I recommend these for anyone!
Tip of the Day: Keep your brown sugar tightly sealed so that it doesn't turn hard. If it does, you can try and revive it by microwaving it next to a cup of water for two to three minutes.
