snickerdoodle blondies

WOW, WHERE HAVE I BEEN?
I have actually been in the kitchen plenty since my last post, but my camera has spazzed out on me and I've been too lazy to post anything without pictures. Who wants to read a food blog with no pictures! But, I just have to share this one with you, I am in looovvvee!

Snickerdoodle Blondies
(adapted from Recipegirl.com)
For the cookies:
1 cup of butter, softened
2 cups of packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. of vanilla extract
2 & 2/3 cup of all-purpose flour
2 tsp. of baking powder
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. of cream of tartar
1 tsp. salt

For the topping:
2 tbsp. of sugar
1 tsp. of ground cinnamon

For the glaze:
1/2 cup of powdered sugar
1 tsp. of ground cinnamon
3 or 4 tbsp. of heavy whipping cream
pinch of nutmeg


Ok, first, preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper, then spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Now whip out your mixer and combine the butter and brown sugar and cream for 2 or 3 minutes.
Next, add the eggs and vanilla and mix well
Add all of your dry ingredients for the cookies, and mix on low until everything is nice and mixed.
Scoop mix into pan, flour your hands, and pat down the mixture evenly.
Next, in a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon for the topping and using a sifter, top the mix.
Bake for about 30 minutes, then cool in pan, on a wire rack until cool.
After the blondies have cooled completely, whisk together ingredients for the glaze, and decorate your blondies! I just put my glaze in a ziploc bag, cut off a small triangle off the corner and made a criss cross pattern! To set your glaze, put blondies in the fridge for a bit.
To remove your blondies from the pan, lift the parchment paper carefully and set blondies on your counter and cut into small squares.
Enjoy!

And to let you know what will be coming up next, I have officially dived into the world of homemade flour tortillas and am perfecting a great recipe I came up with, so get ready, they are sooo good and except for being a bit time consuming, are very easy! Everyone so far has loved them and I'm excited to share them with you!
