Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Snickerdoodle Blondies

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at IU chapter.

It’s finally fall, and fall means pumpkin. I’m always trying to find new ways to use pumpkin, so I hopped on over to Pinterest on the quest for a simple, creative, and (of course) delicious recipe. Chocolate chip blondies and soft, chewy snickerdoodles are two of my favorite desserts, so why not combine the two and add pumpkin into the mix?

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the amazing smell wafting from your kitchen as these bake. Then dig in and fulfill three cravings at once — so efficient. You go, Glen Coco.

    Bake for approximately 26 minutes (or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean). Let cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting into bars.

    #SpoonTip: Baking time may vary depending on your oven, altitude, etc. Change your time accordingly, and be sure to always use that trusty toothpick.
