Snickerdoodles, Snickerdoodles, Snickerdoodles! Go on, tell someone that you Love Snickerdoodles! They will probably giggle, say “What’s a snicker….?” or they will say “I know right! They are the best!” Either way, everyone should experience a Snickerdoodle at least once.
Alright, so now you are in love with Snickerdoodles and you want to make them ALL the time! The truth is, they are a little on the fussy side to make (that is, if your idea of making cookies is slicing up Pillsbury Cookie dough or popping open a box of frozen cookie pucks from M&M meats…ok, really, cookies? At a meat shop? )
No worries, I have found the answer to your conundrum; Snickerdoodle Blondies! Just mix it up, pour into baking dish, done in the time it takes the oven to preheat!
2 1/3 cups Flour
1 1/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
3/4 cup Butter, softened
1 1/4 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
3 Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla
Cinnamon Filling
1 Tablespoon Sugar
1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
Glaze
1/2 cup icing sugar
1 – 2 Tablespoon Milk
Splash of Vanilla
Preheat oven 350F.
Lightly spray a 9X13 pan with vegetable oil spray.
In small bowl combine 1 Tablespoon Sugar and 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon; set aside.
In small mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
In large mixing bowl cream together butter and sugar, brown sugar and vanilla for about 2 minutes.
Add eggs, one at a time a time, stirring well after each addition.
With mixer on low speed, stir in flour mixture until smooth, about 1 minute.
Spoon half the batter in the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Sprinkle with Cinnamon/Sugar mixture.
Dollop small teaspoon size amounts of remaining batter evenly over cinnamon/sugar mixture.
Bake in 350F oven for 20 – 25 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool completely.
In small bowl combine icing sugar, vanilla and milk, to desired consistency, (start with about 1 Tablespoon of milk-easier to start with a little milk and add more if need than to add more powdering icing sugar!) and stir until no lumps remain.
Load into a piping bag and drizzle over Snickerdoodle Bars. (or drizzle with a spoon)
There are a gazillion Snickerdoodle recipes out there! I am a huge fan of the Betty Crocker Cookbook so I relied on Betty for my Snickerdoodle Brownies.
