Snickerdoodle Blondies

Snickerdoodle. Isn't that a fun word to say? Snickerdoodle. Snickerdoodle. Snickerdoodle. !!!!

Ok. I'm done. I made these for my friend, Kali, who is now a professional dancer and getting paid to do what she loves! How incredible! She is going to Shanghai in September to dance in a musical theater show, and I made these for her this weekend as a congratulations of sorts. Her favorite cookies are snickerdoodles, and I have been so into bars lately, that when I found snickerdoodle blondies, I knew I had to nose dive straight into the recipe!

These were, without a doubt, utterly amazing. I kid you not. I made these on Saturday evening. They were gone before I got home Sunday evening. Wowza. I'm serious, though. Make these and people with really love you.
