This is one of those make-on-the-fly type cookies. I had quite a bit of Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting leftover from making my Pumpkin Cranberry Cookies for our  Christmas Cookie Extravaganza this year. I wanted to use up the frosting so it didn’t go to waste. I started looking through recipes to see what I could whip up. I decided to use my basic Snickerdoodle recipe with a few changes. I used coconut oil instead of shortening and I added Cinnamon Chips. I also sprinkled cinnamon-sugar on top of the blondies before baking. After the cookies cooled, I spread them with Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting. They were out of this world!

Cinnamon Frosted Snickerdoodle Blondies are sensational. These rich, dense, decadent cookies are so phenomenal you will want to make them immediately! These blondies are not particularly difficult to make, but I will offer a few suggestions. The frosting is easier to spread on the bars if you refrigerate or freeze the bars first. Some of the cinnamon-sugar layer actually got swept up with the Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting when I tried to spread the frosting on top. It was still amazing to the taste buds, but something you should prepare yourself for. Besides, these bars are easier to cut into nice shapes if you refrigerate or freeze the bars first anyway.

We sent these tasty goodies out to John’s office for the holidays. I added my last couple of containers of peach cookies from this past fall. I needed to clean out the last of our freezer space. After all, I needed room for everything new we baked for this year’s Christmas Cookie Extravaganza. 🙂 They were wolfed down quite quickly and enjoyed by all.

This is a splendid dessert to take to a Christmas party, a baby shower event or a tailgating party. If you have a sweet tooth craving Cinnamon Frosted Snickerdoodle Blondies will satisfy that desire. They’re fantastic to share with family and friends for any occasion, including the holidays. I assure you that you will get rave reviews, with your family, friends, co-workers, neighbors and anyone else you share them with. P.S. Just make sure you make enough. … Just saying… 🙂

Cinnamon Frosted Snickerdoodle Blondies are some of the richest, sweetest, most decadent cookies you’ll ever eat!

I love cookies with frosting and these bars are sensational with their Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting.

Cinnamon Frosted Snickerdoodle Blondies are Snickerdoodles with cinnamon chips and a cinnamon-sugar topping along with Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting on top.

Prepare yourself for a sugar overload with these rich blondies! Every bite will have you drooling.

Here’s what I did.

I used these ingredients for the blondies.

Place sugar, eggs, coconut oil, salt, baking soda and cream of tartar in a mixing bowl.

Cream ingredients with an electric mixer until fluffy.

Add UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour. Bleached flour toughens baked goods. Add cinnamon chips.

Mix ingredients with a wooden spoon until well combined.

Press dough into a greased 10×15″ glass baking dish. You can also spread in a cookie sheet.

Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.

Bake at 350 for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely. You may find it helpful to refrigerate or freeze the brownies after cooling. This will help the icing layer to spread more smoothly.

I used these ingredients to make the Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting.

Soften butter. Add cinnamon, powdered sugar, vanilla and whipping cream.

Mix ingredients with an electric mixer or whisk until smooth.

Spread frosting over top of cooled, refrigerated blondies.

Cut blondies into bars to serve. Refrigerate.

Cinnamon Frosted Snickerdoodle Blondies are great treats for any occasion.

If you enjoy cinnamon-flavored desserts like Snickerdoodles, you’ll rave over this dessert.

These bars have a triple cinnamon whammy! They have cinnamon chips in the blondie. They’re topped with a cinnamon-sugar layer before baking. Then they have a Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting on top. Yum.

Truly, this recipe is sugar on steroids. Cinnamon Frosted Snickerdoodle Blondies will knock your socks off!

Here’s the recipe.

NOTE: You can spread the mixture into a small cookie sheet. But because the layer is thinner, it may cook as quickly as in 15 minutes. Adjust time accordingly.
