These Snickerdoodle Cinnamon Sugar Blondies turn the beloved cookie into a cinnamon sugary soft and chewy blondie.

Sometimes I get little polls sent to me on email or via Facebook.

They ask questions, sometimes silly ones, about your life so that people can get to know you better.

I am always stumped by the question, “what actress would play you in a movie about your life?”

First off, if someone made a movie about my life it would either 1, go straight to DVD or 2, become a made for TV movie on either Lifetime or the Hallmark Channel.

So that really cuts down on my actress choice.

Because really, does Kate Winslet want to be in a made for TV movie, I think not.

And though if I were picking a body to play me I would choose Kate Winslet, the reality is (other than she looks nothing like me) is that as lovely as she is as a person, she is not quirky enough to play me.

Let’s face it, I really need someone who is a little off center.

In a face recognition program I match up with Hayden Panettiere (the cheerleader from Heroes).

She would so have to pack on some serious pounds ala Renee Zellweger for Bridget Jones’s Diary to play me.

She is far too famous now to pack on the pounds for a made for TV movie.

They don’t give out Oscars for that.

And now a days the only reason to show yourself naked (tastefully) or gain weight is to try and get and Oscar.

Oh well, I guess I still can’t answer that question.

What about you?

Who would play you in a movie of your life?

Speaking of things that should be in a movie.

This super yummy Snickerdoodle Cinnamon Sugar Blondie.

I had a reader write me and tell me that though she was a fan of the refund muffin she would like for me to make a new Snickerdoodle baked good.

So off I went.

These are something I so wish I didn’t make.

I know that the pan, the whole pan, will be going in my stomach.

No amount of gym time will be making up for me eating the whole pan, but darn it, these are good.

Especially warm, with slightly melty ice cream.

P.S. It’s a great day to buy my cookbook Holy Sweet!

Snickerdoodle Cinnamon Sugar Blondies

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces (two sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup loosely packed light brown sugar
  • 3 ounces Mascarpone cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • ¾ tsp cream of tartar
  • ¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • Cinnamon Sugar for coating (about 1/3 cup)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Butter a 9 by 13-inch pan.
  3. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar and move pan around to make sure that the bottom and sides are coated. Set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cream of tartar.
  5. Using an stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars.
  6. Beat for three minutes.
  7. Scrape down the bowl.
  8. Add the Mascarpone cheese and beat until fully incorporated.
  9. Add eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition.
  10. Add the vanilla and beat for another 30 seconds.
  11. On low speed add the sifted flour mixture.
  12. Mix until fully incorporated.
  13. Spread mixture evenly into prepared pan.
  14. This will be hard as it is a thick batter. I found it easiest to just wet my hands a little and press the batter into the pan. Then even it out afterwards with a spatula.
  15. Sprinkle more cinnamon sugar on top of the batter.
  16. Bake for 20-25 minutes.Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
  17. Cut into squares and serve.
  18. I like mine warm with ice cream.

  3. Oooo…when I saw that first picture I knew this had to be a snickerdoodle blondie! Soooo yummy looking. I think I’d go with Anne Hathaway in a movie about me…though more in her Princess Diary look than Bride Wars.

  7. WOW! How cool you have snickerdoodle blondie recipe & Julia from a dozen flours has one on hers. I’ve made hers MANY times in the past 6 months or so. Everyone loves ’em. I’m slightly famous amongst my children’s friends & their teachers for them. I can’t wait to give your version a try! Thanks for sharing the recipe! I’m printing it out!

  8. This looks amazing. I have to make it.

    Also, I went to Bakespace for the first time and there you are with your peanut butter cup cake, right on the front page! You rule.

  10. Oh Dear, I cannot even think of anybody who would want to play my “crazy” life, people get tired and exhausted just watching me overload my days…. I love the Blondies….yum!

  12. Snickerdoodles are famous in my family. My brother, who is not a dessert eater, can polish off a whole batch with no problem. Since I don’t love making individually shaped cookies, this is a great solution, thanks!

  13. I have just made some blondies which were the first time for me but they were more cakey these look so good I have to try these. I think you would be more famous than kate Winslet if they made a movie about you especially if they film you when cleaning the bathroom 😉 Thanks for sharing this yummy desset

  15. So decadent Snickerdoodles and icecream …although my daughter could be played by Scarlet Johanssen I have to be played by Phoebe from Friends…Lisa Kudrow..I am told we look alike:D

  17. ummm! i am sitting at home with flu and a runny nose – I am wishing that plate was in my reach because I know this will make me feel better!

    Reply

  21. Wow these look delicious! I wonder if I could make a pan tomorrow and then promptly leave town without them? It may be a plan!

    I think Kristi Alley could play me. She’s not getting many good movie rolls anyway, and if she’s in one of her fatter stages all the better!

    Reply

  22. Holy crap!!!! This is just the type of thing I’ve been craving! I’ve got to make some of these… diet be damned!

    Looks incredible!

  27. Wow! You’ve just taken two of my favorite desserts and – bam – combined them into one AMAZING looking dessert. I need these right now. Oh man, the snickerdoodle blondies look absolutely amazing. I need to stop myself from drooling over the pictures now.

    Reply

  29. how freakin amazing is that? I love snickerdoodles and those blondies look amazing. I can’t wait to try these and will be adding lots of nutmeg and cinnamon. I wonder if you can sub some of the mascarpone and egg for eggnog??

  30. This looks so good! I have a question though–what’s the Mascarpone cheese do? Like in regular snickerdoodles, you don’t need that ingredient. I’m just curious. I want to make this–your pictures are making me hungry.

    Reply

  31. These really sound great! I am more of a chocolate chip girl but I have a friend who adores snickerdoodles and if he sees this, I will surely be making them.

    Reply

  33. Oh god, I’ve been tagged so many times on Facebook for that 25 things about me meme, or whatever it is… I don’t even want to think about it! I’d much rather make blondies like these- They sound fantastic!

    Reply

  35. With ice cream on top!? These blondies look so so good! Who would play me in a movie!? That’s one heck of a hard question? Why do people do that to themselves? Is it some sort of wish fulfillment thing? I dunno. Too hard a question for my brains right now.

    Reply

  38. The Mascarpone cheese is used for texture. So that these are chewy like Blondies are. If you make them like the cookies then all you will have is bar cookies.

  40. Well on a looks basis I get told I look like Natalie Portman alot, both short, petite, same hair/eye color.

    However I guess it would be Tina Fey in that I am somewhat of a “Liz Lemon” I am a dork, always have sarcastic coments, love food, and am a class clown type. However I am married.

  41. Can’t think why anyone would want to make a movie of my life, so I guess I’m stuck playing myself. Snickerdoodle blondies are a fabulous idea! You are a dessert genius.

    Reply

  42. WOW these look absolutely amazing, thanks for another yummy-looking recipe. I’ve made several of your goodies and they’ve all worked out great. I can’t wait to try these!!

    Just wanted to say thanks for creating such a fun, lively and yummy blog!

  44. Holy cow, Gracie.. blondies are my favorite.. give me a brownie and a blondie and I’ll choose the blondie every time. Give me a chocolate chip cookie and a snickerdoodle and I’ll choose the snickerdoodle every time.

    Have I told you lately how much I heart you? 😀

  45. LOL – I think if it is a movie about your life, you can choose whoever you want to be you. I reckon in the looks department, I’d get Megan Followes to play me.

    These blondies are definitely Oscar-worthy – they’d be going straight down my throat as well.

    Reply

  47. You’ve made a lot of things over the last couple of years that I would label “pure genius” but this seriously goes to a whole new level!

    I would let Ali Larter play me… but she’d have to gain 30 lbs and work on her Texas accent – it wasn’t believable in Friday Night Lights and that just won’t cut it!

    Reply

  49. I think if they made a movie of my life, it would be canceled half way through do to lack of a plot lol. I’m such a boring person.

    I love Snickerdoodles. Even better is when they are topped with Ice-cream.

    Reply

  52. Your posts are always so fun to read 🙂

    My only saving grace in this would be that a lot of great actresses are the same wee size as I am … but looks wise, not so much. Though, I bet those actresses are pretty darn quirky.

    Those blondies look awesome … thankfully for my waistline, they look far too difficult to make dairy-free, so I have an out!

    Reply

  54. OMG! Those looks porntastalicious! I think that I could make them only if I was immediately going to take them somewhere otherwise I would eat all of them too. *drools and saves off recipe for later, nefarious purposes*

    Reply

  55. Snickerdoodles used to be my favorite cookies to make until I moved to the mountains where elevation has plagued my cookie-baking. Blondies don’t seem to pose nearly as much trouble and I love how you combined the two! I’ll have to try it out.

    Reply

  56. See, I knew I should skip this one! Those look super good . . . now if only you’d thought to call me, I could have helped you with half the pan and saved you half the calories. Now I’ll be stuck with the whole pan too.

    Reply

  58. That is a tricky question, Pea – I would love it to be Kate Winslet, too (love her), but no way… It would have to be someone loaded with freckles. Any hints? 😀

    I think that Renée looked prettier with the pounds she added for Bridget Jones.

    I love anything snickerdoodles – will be trying this one here!

  63. I brought a pan of these into work with me and they were gone in an hour. luckily I made sure my bosses got first pick, otherwise I never hear the end of it if they wait too long and miss out.

    Reply

  65. I made these yesterday and they are SOOOO good! I could totally eat the whole pan by myself but I won’t do that…I’d be a bad example to my patients if I did. 🙂

    Reply

  66. Oh my gawd!!! I made these last Friady and they are fabulous. I wish it was all edges and that part is the best. Of course no one is forcing me to eat the middle and it is mostly gone too. Even hubs liked them and he is such a Brownie fanatic that I wasnt sure he would. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe. This is a keeper.

    Reply

  68. Oh my goodness – these are fantastic! I am a huge blondie fan and these will be entering my rotation. Make sure that you put plenty of cinnamon brown sugar on both the pan and the top – it’s puts these blondies over the top!

    Reply

  74. These were incredible! The smell of them baking had my family salivating in expectation and we devoured them straight out of the oven with vanilla bean ice cream. Amazingly, all 8 of us loved them, which is uncommon. I did substitute cream cheese for the mascarpone, but I can’t imagine it made a big difference. Next time, I will use a higher ratio of cinnamon to sugar and possibly add some toffee chips. Thank you for this recipe. It’s a keeper!
