Soft, chewy cinnamon roll blondies are drizzled with sweet cream cheese icing. They're perfect for fall days and holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Blondies
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup (1 stick or 113 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup (200 g) packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Cinnamon Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
Cream Cheese Icing
- ¼ cup (56 g) cream cheese, room temperature
- ¼ cup (30 g) confectioners’ sugar, sifted
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1-2 Tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch by 8-inch metal pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and brown sugar until combined. Add egg and vanilla and mix well. Add the flour mixture and stir just until combined (careful not to overmix).
- Transfer batter to prepared baking pan. Add the cinnamon sugar topping. Whisk together the cinnamon and sugar, then drop teaspoons on top of the batter. Use a toothpick or butter knife to swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter.
- Bake for 25 to 28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
- For the icing, use an electric mixer to beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla and 1 tablespoon milk. Mix until combined. If the mixture is too thick to drizzle, add another tablespoon of milk. Use a spoon to drizzle icing over cooled blondies. Cut into squares and serve.

Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or in the refrigerator up to 5 days.
