SNICKERDOODLE BLONDIES

Category: Brownies/Blondies

1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3 oz Mascarpone cheese
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
Pinch salt
3/4 tsp cream of tarter
1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
2 cups flour

Cinnamon Sugar for coating (about 1/3 cup)

Preheat oven to 350. Butter a 13x9 inch baking pan. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar and move pan around to make sure that the bottom and sides are coated. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cream of tarter.

Cream together the butter and sugars. Beat for three minutes. Scrape down the bowl. Add the Mascarpone cheese and beat until fully incorporated. Add eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition. Add the vanilla and beat for another 30 seconds.

On low speed add the sifted flour mixture. Mix until fully incorporated. Spread mixture evenly into prepared pan. This will be hard as it is a thick batter. I found it easiest to just wet my hands a little and press the batter into the pan. Then even it out afterwards with a spatula. Sprinkle more cinnamon sugar on top of the batter. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Cut into squares and serve. I like mine warm with ice cream.
