Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing it or lining with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly.
  3. Fold in all-purpose flour and salt until just combined to form a thick batter.
  4. Prepare the cinnamon swirl by mixing brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until it forms a smooth paste.
  5. Spread blondie batter into the prepared dish, dollop the cinnamon mixture over it, and swirl gently with a knife.
  6. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until edges are golden, and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  7. Cool completely in dish on a wire rack before frosting.
  8. Beat cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until icing is drizzleable.
  9. Drizzle icing over the cooled blondies, cut into squares, and serve.
