Instructions
1
|
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir continuously until it foams and the milk solids turn golden and nutty. Immediately pour into a medium or large mixing bowl and let cool for at least 10–15 minutes.
2
|
In a small bowl mix all the ingredients from the cinnamon sugar mixture and set aside.
3
|
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8" pan with parchment paper.
4
|
After the brown butter has cooled whisk in the brown and white sugars until combined. Mixture will look sandy.
5
|
Add eggs and vanilla extract, and whisk until well combined.
6
|
Stir in salt, cream of tartar and flour - use the spoon and level method until just combined — do not overmix!
7
|
Pour half of the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture onto the batter.
8
|
Smooth out the remaining batter on top till its even. The batter will be thick and this may take some time to even out the batter. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
9
|
Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumb.
10
|
Let blondies cool in the pan for at least 5 mins, then remove from pan and transfer to a cooling rack.
11
|
Cool completely before slicing into squares.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Master the Brown Butter Stage 🧈Watch for the milk solids to turn golden amber and smell nutty (about 5-7 minutes), then immediately transfer to a cool bowl to stop the browning and prevent burnt butter that will overpower the delicate cinnamon balance.
- Balance Cinnamon with Cream of Tartar ✨The cream of tartar adds subtle tang that brightens the cinnamon flavor and prevents it from tasting flat or one-dimensional, creating complexity similar to traditional snickerdoodles.
- Use Both Sugars for Depth 🍯Combine cane sugar and light brown sugar to layer sweetness—the molasses in brown sugar complements the brown butter's nutty notes while cane sugar keeps the texture tender and chewy.
- Don't Overmix After Flour Addition 🎂Stop mixing as soon as flour is incorporated to avoid developing excess gluten, which creates dense, cakey blondies instead of the fudgy, tender crumb that showcases the brown butter's richness.
- Cool Brown Butter Before Combining 🧊Let the browned butter cool to room temperature before whisking with eggs to prevent cooking the eggs prematurely, which ensures proper emulsification and a luxurious, cohesive batter.
