Welcome to this month's Taste Creations Blog Hop! The theme ingredient this month is coffee. I decided to develop a recipe for cappuccino blondies based on my favorite snickerdoodle blondies recipe.

I love my snickerdoodle blondies. So much. But if you're looking for a slightly more grown up flavor, these are AMAZING. And incredibly easy to make. I love bar cookies!

Cappuccino Blondies Recipe Ingredients:

1 cup butter (two sticks), softened
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 teaspoons King Arthur espresso powder
2 2/3 cups flour

Cream together the butter and sugar. Add eggs and beat again until mixture is light and fluffy. Add baking powder, salt, and espresso powder, and mix until well combined. Add flour and mix until combined into the batter.

Smooth batter into a 9 x13 pan, and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

I had some leftover dark brown royal icing, so I used it to make little icing coffee beans to add to the tops of my cappuccino blondies. The perfect finishing touch, and I didn't waste my icing! My grandma would have been proud of me.
