Snickerdoodle Blondies with Cinnamon Chips

The newspaper this morning had a whole section on Christmas cookies with lots of yummy looking recipes. I am going to try a bunch of them out over the next few weeks - we are in trouble!!

2 2/3 C flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 C butter, softened
2 C packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 T vanilla
1 1/2 C cinnamon chips
2 T white sugar
2 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a 9 by 13 inch pan. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon, set aside. In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla untill smooth. Stir in flour mixture until well blended. Add Cinnamon Chips. Spread evenly into prepared pan. Combine white sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over spread cookie dough.

Bake 25 minutes or until surface springs back when gently pressed. Cool slightly and cut into bars while still warm.
