Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and chopped
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- 3. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Gently mix in chopped cherries and chocolate chips.
- 4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown; a toothpick should come out mostly clean with some gooey chocolate.
- 5. Cool in the pan for about ten minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice into squares and serve.
