Snickerdoodle Blondies

Ingredients:

2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon grated or ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon salt

2 cups packed brown sugar

1 cup butter, room temperature

2 eggs, at room temperature

1 Tablespoon vanilla extract

2 Tablespoons granulated sugar

2 teaspoons cinnamon

a pinch nutmeg

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9X13 inch pan. Combine the flour, bakinf powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, beat together butter and brown sugar for 3-5 minutes. Add in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla, and beat until smooth.

3. Stir in the flour mixture until well blended. Spread evenly in prepared pan (mixture will be like cookie dough, so it's best to spread it out with a greased spatula or your hands). Combine the granulated sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a little bowl. Evenly sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over top of batter.

4. Bake 30-40 minutes or until surface springs back when gently pressed. Cool before cutting. Makes 20-24 bars.
