Cinnamon Roll Blondies

MMM.  These are soooo tasty!  Been craving a cinnamon treat lately and this hit the spot--10/10 for sure.  It was also the perfect cooking activity with my little sous-chef (my son) on a rainy, cool fall afternoon.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:

Blondies--

1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
3/4 c. (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 c. brown sugar (packed)
1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 T. vanilla extract

Cinnamon swirl--

1/4 c. (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened (**I misread this and only used half of this amount--still turned out!)
1/4 c. brown sugar (packed)
1 T. cinnamon
pinch of kosher salt

Glaze--

1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
2 T. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Line a 9" x 9" pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray; set aside.

2. Combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and kosher salt in a medium bowl; set aside.

3. Heat oven to 350°F.

4. Beat together butter, brown sugar, and sugar in a large bowl, using a hand mixer (**not really sure what difference this makes, but I did so anyway).


5. Beat in eggs and vanilla.


6. Gradually add dry ingredients mixture, beating until just combined.

7. Press mixture (as best you can) into prepared pan.

8. In a medium bowl, combine the ingredients for the cinnamon swirl. (**I did this by hand, as I didn't feel like messing with cleaning off the beaters; original recipe indicates to do with the hand mixer.)


9. Spoon dollops of the cinnamon swirl atop the blondies batter in pan, then, using the back of the spoon, gently swirl the dollops into the batter.



10. Bake until golden and slightly soft in middle--original recipe says 25-30 min, but mine were nowhere near done at even the 30 minute mark.  I was using regular bake, not convection, and ended up going 45 minutes total.


11. After blondies cool, whisk together the glaze ingredients and drizzle over the blondies.  Serve up and enjoy!
