1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions

3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, stirring until well combined.
4. Stir in the flour and salt until fully incorporated. Do not overmix.
5. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
6. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, then sprinkle evenly over the batter.

8. Allow to cool in the pan before slicing into 9 squares.
Notes
Don’t overbake—the blondies should be slightly soft in the center.
You can double the recipe and bake in a 9×13-inch pan for a crowd.
Add a pinch of nutmeg to the topping for extra warmth.
