Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by lining with parchment paper or greasing with butter.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together ½ cup of melted unsalted butter with 1 cup of light brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Crack in 1 large egg and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Stir until combined.
  4. Gently fold in 1 cup of all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt to the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Add in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup of halved cherries, stirring carefully to distribute evenly.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top for even baking.
  7. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
  8. Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Ensure that if using frozen cherries, they are thoroughly drained to prevent excess moisture. Avoid overmixing to keep the blondies chewy. Cool completely in the pan before slicing for cleaner cuts.
