Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 9-12
Ingredients
for the blondies
  • ⅔ cup unsalted butter (although if you prefer your blondies a little salty, use salted butter)
  • 1½ cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
for the cinnamon swirl
  • ¼ cup butter (1/2 stick)
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease an 8x8" baking pan.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt the ⅔ cup butter, and let it cook until it is golden brown. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar, and stir until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla, and lemon juice and mix well. Add the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Spread the batter in the prepared pan.
  5. In the same saucepan you used to melt the butter for the blondie batter, melt the ¼ cup butter for the cinnamon swirl. Add the sugar and cinnamon and stir to combine. Drizzle the cinnamon sauce over the blondie batter and use a butter knife to swirl it in. Don't bother trying to do a fancy pattern; it just all melts together!
  6. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs on it. Cool completely before serving.
