- Pour batter into your lined baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to completely cool before frosting.
- While blondies cool, make your frosting by beating all ingredeints together with a hand mixer until smooth. Spread onto cooled blondies, sprinkle with cinnamon, slice and enjoy!
