In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla, whisking until well combined. Fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt with a spatula until just combined — be careful not to overmix. Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the swirl. Drop small spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture over the batter in the pan. Then dollop the remaining blondie batter on top and gently swirl with a knife or skewer. Bake for 20-22 minutes, until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool completely in the pan before glazing. ## Recipe: Extra Gooey Cinnamon Roll Blondies *Prep: 8 min · Cook: 22 min · Serves: 9* ### Ingredients - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted - 1 cup light brown sugar, packed - 1 large egg - 1 tsp vanilla extract - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 1/2 tsp baking powder - 1/4 tsp salt - 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened (for swirl) - 2 tbsp light brown sugar (for swirl) - 1 tsp ground cinnamon - 2 oz cream cheese, softened - 1/2 cup powdered sugar - 1-2 tbsp milk ### Instructions 1.

Overmixing can lead to dense, cakey blondies instead of soft, chewy ones. Always bring your egg to room temperature before mixing — this helps it incorporate evenly and gives a better rise. If you're in a hurry, place the egg in a bowl of warm water for 5 minutes. Also, line your pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up. ## Serving Suggestions These blondies are delicious on their own, but a scoop of vanilla ice cream takes them over the top. For an extra indulgent treat, warm them slightly in the microwave for about 10 seconds and drizzle with extra cream cheese glaze. They're perfect for potlucks, holiday cookie exchanges, or as a special weeknight dessert. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: Can I use salted butter?** A: Yes, just omit the added salt in the recipe. The blondies will still be delicious. **Q: How should I store leftover blondies?** A: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. **Q: Can I make these gluten-free?** A: Absolutely! Use a 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. No other adjustments needed. ### Why This Recipe Works The combination of melted butter and brown sugar creates a chewy, caramel-like base that's intensified by the cinnamon swirl. Baking at a higher temperature for a shorter time ensures a soft, gooey center while the edges get perfectly golden. The cream cheese glaze adds a tangy contrast that mimics the classic cinnamon roll icing. It's pure comfort in every bite. ## More Blondie Recipes to Try If you love these cinnamon roll blondies, you'll also enjoy our Fudgy One-Bowl Brown Butter Blondies for a rich, nutty twist.
