Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups brown sugar

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then whisk until fully combined.
4. Stir in the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until a thick batter forms. Do not overmix.
5. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
6. In a small bowl, mix the topping sugar and cinnamon together. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.
7. Bake for 24 to 28 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is just set.
8. Cool completely before slicing into bars and serving.
Notes
These blondies are best when slightly underbaked in the center for a soft and chewy texture.
Let them cool fully before slicing if you want clean, neat squares.
A pinch of extra cinnamon in the topping gives them an even warmer flavor.
