Ingredients

Scale
Blondies:
  • ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter melted and set aside to cool slightly
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Frosting:
  • 4 ounce (½ of an 8 ounce) package of cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter softened
  • 3¼ cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 Tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and both sugars until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then beat for 3–4 minutes, until the mixture becomes thick, pale, and slightly ribbon-like.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until blended.
  4. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan.
  5. To prepare the frosting, beat the cream cheese and softened butter together until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt, then mix until smooth and creamy.
  6. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled blondies and gently swirl it to resemble a cinnamon roll pattern. Cut into squares and serve.
