Description

A straightforward recipe for rich brownies with cherry pieces.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup dried or frozen cherries, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and sugar until combined.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and cherries.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  9. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • If using frozen cherries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
  • For fudgier brownies, reduce the baking time by 2-3 minutes.
