Ingredients Needed:

Vanilla cake mix
Oil
Egg
Brown sugar
Butter
Ground cinnamon
Cream cheese
Shortening
Powdered sugar
Vanilla

Cake Mix: Vanilla, yellow, white or any similar variety will work for these. Stick with a standard size box ( 15-18 oz) and you will be good to go.

Oil: A neutral tasting oil (canola/vegetable/sunflower) work best for these blondies

Shortening: I like to use Crisco butter flavored baking sticks in my frosting. Regular shortening will also work.

Brown Sugar: Coconut palm sugar can be used as a replacement.

A few recipe notes:

Your batter will be thick! So, don’t worry if it seems, well, thick.
If desired, you can top your blondies with chopped walnuts before serving..they go perfect together!
Keep any leftover blondies or frosting in a covered container in the refrigerator.
