Step-by-Step Instructions for Cinnamon Roll Blondies

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking dish.
  • Combine melted butter and brown sugar in a bowl, stirring until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well. Gradually fold in flour and salt.
  • In another bowl, create the cinnamon swirl by combining brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter.
  • Spread blondie batter into the baking dish, dollop cinnamon mixture on top, and swirl gently with a butter knife.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until edges are golden brown and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  • Let blondies cool, then make cream cheese icing by mixing all icing ingredients until creamy.
  • Drizzle icing over cooled blondies, spread evenly, and cut into squares to serve.

Notes

Use melted butter slightly cooled to avoid scrambling the eggs. Ensure to let blondies cool completely before icing to maintain texture.
