Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter Substitute with plant-based butter for a vegan option.
  • 1 cup Light Brown Sugar Granulated sugar can be used if needed.
  • 1 large Egg Can be replaced with a flax egg for a vegan version.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Use pure extract for the best complexity.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Swap with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free option.
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt Essential for enhancing flavor.
For the Add-ins
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Feel free to switch with dark chocolate chunks or white chocolate chips.
  • 1 cup Cherries (Fresh or Frozen) Use fresh if in season, or ensure frozen cherries are well-drained.

Equipment

  • 8x8-inch baking pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted unsalted butter and light brown sugar until smooth and glossy, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and salt until no dry flour remains, about 30 seconds.
  5. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and halved cherries, ensuring even distribution.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top evenly.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, testing with a toothpick for doneness; it should have a few moist crumbs.
  8. Allow to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares.

Notes

Watch your mixing to avoid overmixing and maintain a chewy texture. Ensure frozen cherries are dried after thawing to prevent excess moisture.
