Ingredients

Scale

For the Blondies:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup dried tart cherries (or chopped maraschino cherries, well-drained)
  • optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla, mix well.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to wet mixture.
  4. Add mix-ins: Fold in chocolate chips, cherries, and nuts if desired.
  5. Bake: Spread batter in pan and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden.
  6. Cool and slice: Let blondies cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • You can use fresh cherries instead of dried, just ensure to remove excess moisture.
  • For a gooey texture, slightly underbake the blondies.
