How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s get to the fun part—making our delicious blondies!

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Stir until well combined.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chopped cherries and white chocolate chips, if using.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let it cool in the pan before cutting into squares.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your blondies turn out perfectly:

  • Make sure your butter is melted but not too hot; it should be warm to the touch.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; mix just until the flour is incorporated for a tender texture.
  • If you’re using frozen cherries, there’s no need to thaw them; just chop and add them directly to the batter.
  • For an extra touch, sprinkle some sea salt on top before baking for a sweet and salty flavor.

How to Serve

These blondies are delicious on their own, but why not elevate them a bit? Here are some serving suggestions:

  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.
  • Top with whipped cream and a cherry for a classic sundae twist.
  • Pair with a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon treat.
  • Cut them into smaller squares for a perfect addition to your next potluck or family gathering.

Make Ahead and Storage

If you’re planning ahead, these blondies can be made in advance! Here’s how to store them:

  • Once cooled, store the blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For longer storage, you can freeze them! Just wrap individual squares in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They’ll keep for up to 3 months.
  • To enjoy, simply thaw at room temperature or warm them in the microwave for a few seconds.
