Ingredients
  

For the Blondie Base
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter substitute with plant-based butter for a vegan option
  • 1 cup Light Brown Sugar granulated sugar can work if needed
  • 1 Large Egg can be replaced with a flax egg for a vegan version
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract consider using pure extract for a richer taste
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour for gluten-free, substitute with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend
  • ½ teaspoon Salt balances sweetness and enhances flavor
For the Chocolate and Cherries
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips feel free to swap with dark chocolate chunks or white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Cherries (Fresh or Frozen) fresh cherries are ideal; thaw and drain frozen ones properly
Optional Add-ins

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line or grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter and light brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add in the large egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully integrated.
  4. Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and salt, gently folding until the batter just comes together.
  5. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and halved cherries until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top for an even bake.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the blondies cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before cutting.
