Preparation Steps
- Start by preheating your oven to 325℉ (165C/145C Fan) and lining your square baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together your sugars and melted butter until well emulsified.
- Then add the eggs and vanilla, beating to combine.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, cornstarch, salt and cinnamon into the wet ingredients and then stir with a spatula until just combined.
- Finally, add the cream cheese morsels or white chocolate chips and stir to combine.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
- In a small bowl stir, together the ingredients for your cinnamon sugar swirl (the brown sugar and cinnamon) and sprinkle generously over the top of your batter.
- Using a kitchen knife, swirl this lightly into the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out mostly clean.
- Once baked, remove and allow to cool in the pan for about 2 hours, to allow the blondies to set.
- In a small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar, cream cheese and vanilla until you have a thick smooth glaze. Then pipe over the blondies before slicing and serving.
