When it comes to “snickerdoodle anything”, there are pretty much two types of people… those who love the flavour and those who hate it. If you belong in the first category this recipe for snickerdoodle blondies is definitely one to consider!
What Are Snickerdoodle Blondies?
Think of a blondie as a brownie without chocolate or a treat that tastes similar to a chocolate chip cookie without the chocolate. Some blondie recipes even have somewhat of a butterscotch taste! It all depends on the finished product.
Snickerdoodle cookies are thought to have originated in Germany. They’re made with basic ingredients to include sugar, oil, butter, and flour. This cookie is typically rolled in cinnamon before baking.
Looking at this recipe for snickerdoodle blondies makes me think of a dense coffee cake, without any frills. These would be great to bake, cut into squares, and then freeze individually for whenever you’re craving a sweet treat. It’s also a great option when you don’t have a lot in the pantry, but you’re still in the mood to bake.
Snickerdoodle blondies without cream of tartar
If you don’t have cream of tartar you can use white vinegar or fresh lemon juice to replace it. For this particular snickerdoodle blondie recipe, use 1 teaspoon of either one of these substitutes. It’s as simple as that and you won’t even notice the difference!
Toppings
I’m thinking you could add more of a crunchy topping to these bars, if you want to jazz them up a bit. Maybe crushed walnuts and other ingredients to create a typical “streusel” topping? The choice is up to you!
Recipe Notes
Make sure your eggs are room temperature. This makes it so much easier to incorporate everything into a smoother batter. Allow the melted butter to cool before adding it in to the mix for the same reason. You don’t want hot butter to scramble the eggs!
