Cream Cheese Blondies Recipe

How to make it

---

• Preheat oven to 325
• Line an 8" pan with foil and lightly coat with non-stick spray.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 2/3 cups flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In a mixing bowl, place 9 tablespoons butter with the brown sugar and cream until light and fluffy.
• Mix in 2 eggs and vanilla extact until combined.
• On low speed, add flour until well combined.
• Transfer to another bowl medium bowl and set aside.
• If you don't have more than one mixing bowl for your mixer, go ahead and clean the paddle and bowl.
• Place cream cheese, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 egg, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla in a clean mixing bowl. Mix until smooth.
• Pour half of the first batter into the 8" pan and spread evenly with a small spatula.
• Spoon two-thirds of the cream cheese mixture on top and carefully spread over.
• With a tablespoon, drop dollops of the first batter over the top, spacing about 1 inch apart.
• Glently spread with an spatula.
• With the remaining cream cheese mixture, drop dollops over the top about 1 inch apart.
• With a butter knife, swirl cream cheese into the batter. Bake until lightly brown, about 40-45 minutes. Mine was done on the early side so check early with a toothpick - you are looking for small crumbs to be attached, but not liquid batter.
• Cool in pan about 10 minutes and carefully lift out - place on a wire rack to cool completely.
