How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Blondies (Overview)
Making these cinnamon sugar blondies is a breeze. Start by melting the butter, then mix in your sugars until they’re nice and creamy. Add in the eggs and vanilla, whisking like a pro! Next, fold in your dry ingredients—don’t overmix; you want them soft and chewy, not tough. Pour, bake, and cool. Voila! Deliciousness is just a few steps away.
