Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped dried cherries until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

  7. Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to smooth the top.

  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  9. Allow the Chocolate Cherry Bar Cookie to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before slicing into bars or squares.

  10. If desired, dust the tops of the bars with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
