These blondies are very easy to make! They can be made in one bowl, so kids can help make it!

I wanted to make these bars more exciting, so I topped them with cinnamon cream cheese frosting. It pairs so well with the sweet white chocolate.

If you are looking for more white chocolate recipes, try pumpkin snickerdoodles, white chocolate chip chocolate cookies, and raspberry white chocolate cake.

Why You Will Love This

  • White chocolate chips- Make sure to use a high quality white chocolate chips for the best flavor.
  • Easy to make- These couldn't be easier to make! They can be made in one bowl.

Ingredient Notes

  • Unsalted butter- Melt it and let it slightly cool. If it is too hot, it will cook the eggs.
  • Brown sugar- I used light brown sugar.
  • Egg yolk- The extra egg yolk gives it a more gooey texture.
  • White chocolate chips- Use actual white chocolate chips vs vanilla flavored white chips. I love Ghirardelli.
  • Cream cheese- Use full fat cream cheese.

Step By Step Instructions

Here are the steps to make and bake these bars.

STEP 1: Melt the butter. The butter needs to be slightly cooled before using.

STEP 2: Mix the wet ingredients. Next, mix the butter, brown sugar, vanilla, eggs, and egg yolk. This can be mixed with a rubber spatula.

STEP 3: Add the dry ingredients. Then, mix in the flour and salt. Make sure to use a sifter to prevent flour lumps getting into the batter.

STEP 4: Mix in white chocolate chips. The recipe says ¾ths cup of white chocolate chips, but you can add up to 1 cup. Especially if you love white chocolate chips.

STEP 5: Bake the bars. Pour the batter into the 8X8 pan. Then, bake the bars for 30-40 minutes. I baked these for 35 minutes.

STEP 6: Cool the bars completely.

STEP 7: Make the frosting. Beat the cream cheese and butter. Then, add in the powdered sugar and cinnamon. Next, add in the vanilla, salt and heavy cream.

STEP 8: Spread the frosting on top of the cooled bars. Then, cut into squares.

Expert Tips

First, make sure to spray the pan with baking non-stick spray. Then, line it with parchment paper. This will make it a lot easier to remove the bars from the pan.

When the blondies are done baking, they will sink slightly. A slight sink means they are still gooey in the middle. If they sink dramatically, they need more time. If they don't sink at all, they are over baked.

The bars need to cool completely before taking them out of the pan. If you try to remove them while they are warm, they will fall apart.

The frosting for these is optional, but it makes them more fun!

FAQ

Can I make these in a 9X13 pan?

Yes you can. Just double the recipe. Bake for 45-60 minutes.

Can I make these in a 9X9 pan?

Yes you can. It will make slightly thinner blondies.

Can I make these with no eggs?

I have not recipe tested this.

Storing and Freezing

Store these white chocolate cinnamon blondies in an airtight container in the fridge. They need to be chilled because of the frosting. Store up to 5 days.

If you did not frost the blondies you can store them at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Freezing

Freeze the blondies in an air tight container up to 30 days. Thaw for 1 hour before eating.

    The bars were very easy to make. I opted to skip the frosting and added the 1/2 tsp of cinnamon to the bar batter, giving the blondie a subtle cinnamon flavor that went well with the white chocolate chips. Yum!

    So good! I froze these after baking because I had too much. I actually liked them even better taken out of the freezer and zapped in the microwave. It made the icing melt like a cinnamon roll. Yum!

      Since the blondies don't have any type of milk ingredient I recommend not putting egg nog in the batter. However, you can add it to the frosting or make an egg nog drizzle! Replace the heavy cream in the frosting with egg nog.
      For the egg nog glaze:
      1 cup sifted powered sugar
      1 tsp vanilla
      1-3 TBSP Egg nog.
