MMMM! The browned butter really sets these blondies apart from the rest. Chewy, buttery, cinnamony deliciousness! My only regret was not doubling the recipe, which I will most certainly do the next time I make these. Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Spring 2014

I've never made Blondies before having always prefered chocolate brownies. But couldn't resist the cinnamon in these. They are so good, and the cinnamon sugar combo is just right. Browning the butter really brings out the flavor in these yummy little squares. Made for Spring PAC 2014
