Aimless Tangents

Oh, you are either going to love me or hate me for this recipe. Think snickerdoodle cookie taste but the texture of a brownie.

I made these the day my parents came into town for a short visit and my dad ate half of the pan on his own. By the next day, they were all gone. I made a second batch, those lasted 3 days. I convinced a chocolate chip cookie loving friend to try these, they are they best sweet of the year at his house. We had plumbing work done this past week and a plate full of blondies was the tip, he was happy. Yes, they really are that good.

Original recipe found here.

1/2 cup butter (softened)
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup flour
For the topping: 1 tbsp sugar + 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Cream butter and sugar. Add salt, egg, and vanilla, combine well. 1/3 cup at a time, add flour and mix well; batter will be stiff. Pour into a greased 8″x8″ baking pan. Dust top with the reserved sugar and cinnamon. Bake at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes.

Only difference between the two recipes is that I added more cinnamon because I love cinnamon.

The brownie texture is amazing:

But this bar is all snickerdoodle, baby!
