Sourdough Snickerdoodle Blondies

These are one of my go-to, easy, last-minute desserts. I've been making a version without sourdough for many years, and I wanted to try adding some sourdough discard. The result was delicious. They are so soft. The discard enhances the classic snickerdoodle tang from the cream tartar, a very welcome addition to this sweet dessert. This is one of the easiest desserts. No need for a mixer, and the batter comes together in about 10–15 minutes. Give these a try and let me know what you think!
