Blondies
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 ¾ cups (350 g) light brown sugar, tightly packed
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 large egg yolk, room temperature
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups (285 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Cinnamon Layer
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting
Blondies
Whisk melted butter and brown sugar in a large bowl until fully incorporated.
Add the eggs and the egg yolk, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Whisk in the vanilla extract.
In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
Using a rubber spatula, gradually stir the flour mixture into the butter and egg mixture until completely combined. Set aside as you prepare the cinnamon-sugar layer.
Assembly
Spread half the blondie batter into the bottom of the lined baking dish. (The batter is thick.)
Evenly spread the cinnamon layer over the blondie batter.
Add the remaining blondie batter on top, spreading it out to the edges of the pan.
Bake for 35-38 minutes, or until the edges just begin to turn golden brown and the center is no longer jiggly.
Allow the bars to cool completely before adding the cream cheese frosting.
Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting
Put cream cheese, butter, confectioners sugar, vanilla, and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
Mix on low until just combined. Once ingredients are all incorporated, turn the mixer on high and leave it for 4-5 minutes. Frosting should be light and fluffy.
Spread frosting over cooled blondies.
