Heavenly Maraschino Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars 🍒🍰
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups maraschino cherries, drained and chopped
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, and continue to whisk until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped maraschino cherries until evenly distributed in the dough.
Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
