Blondies with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting #Cake

I scandalously topped them with frosting… It’s commonplace to see brownies with frosting. But never blondies… Why? Let’s change that!

But, this isn’t just any frosting… This is cream cheese frosting with a bit of cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla thrown in. If there were a cross between a blondie and carrot cake – this would be it. Perfect deliciousness… Chewy blondies with those decadent carrot cake spices and whipped cream cheese frosting.
