The dough comes collectively rapidly with the assistance of an electrical mixer. Anticipate a thick, creamy, very sticky dough:

Take about half of the dough (simply eyeball it) and plop it right into a 9-inch sq. baking pan lined with parchment paper. I all the time advocate lining the pan with parchment paper for brownies and bars, and leaving slightly little bit of overhang on the edges. This makes it tremendous straightforward to carry the bars out of the pan and switch to a slicing board to slice into squares.

Now comes the tough half: urgent this sticky, thick, buttery dough into the pan. One of the best ways to do that is with generously floured fingers. Preserve a small bowl of flour close by and re-flour your fingers as wanted.

Upon getting the primary half of the snickerdoodle blondie dough pressed in a good layer to cowl the underside of the pan, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar combination excessive of it. Reserve 1 teaspoon to sprinkle on prime earlier than baking.

Now, prime the cinnamon swirl layer with the remaining blondie dough. Once more, generously flour your fingers for this step. Take a handful of dough and press it between your fingers to flatten it, then place it on prime of the cinnamon swirl layer. Repeat with the remaining dough, a handful at a time, re-flouring your fingers as typically as wanted. Lay the “shingles” of dough gently subsequent to at least one one other, form of like puzzle items.

Attempt to meld them collectively, like this:

Evenly sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar excessive, then bake. Let the snickerdoodle blondies cool fully within the pan earlier than slicing them into squares. The bars are fairly thick, so you possibly can lower the pan into 20 small bars. Or, for further beneficiant servings, lower the pan into 16 bars.

The sides are further chewy and the facilities are oh-so delicate. There’s white chocolate chips aplenty and the sticky cinnamon-sugar swirl will make you weak on the knees.
