What does Cream of Tartar do?

Cream of Tartar is a leavening agent for baking (helps the baked goods rise) and its acidity adds tang, such as in the classic Snickerdoodle cookie.

What is the 'Spoon and Level' method?

The spoon and level method is best for measuring flour because it reduces the risk of over measuring. Start by fluffing up the flour int the container then use a spoon to spoon it into the measuring cup and use a knife to level off the top. This is much more accurate than scooping the flour directly from the container with the measuring cup.

These Snickerdoodle Blondies are super tender and moist, topped with a cinnamon sugar topping, and have that classic Snickerdoodle cookie tang! I love that they use melted butter (no need to soften butter) and mix up easily by hand (no mixer needed).

Instructions

Prep - Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper - I like to also spray with cooking spray.
Butter and Sugar - Melt the butter in a glass mixing bowl and whisk in the sugar to combine.
Egg and Vanilla - Whisk in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla until well combined.
Dry Ingredients - Fold in the flour, cream of tartar, and salt with a rubber spatula.
Add to Pan - Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Spread from corner to corner.
Cinnamon Sugar - Mix together the cinnamon and sugar topping in a small bowl and sprinkle over the top of the batter in an even layer
Bake - Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. It will puff up, be darker on top, and a toothpick will come out clean from the center.
Enjoy - Allow to cool in the pan before lifting out and cutting into squares. You can cut into either 9 large blondies or 16 small blondies.
