Ingredients (serves 8):
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup dried cherries, chopped
Cooking Tips:
- Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips for the best flavor.
- Make sure to chop the dried cherries into small pieces to distribute them evenly throughout the brownies.
- Don't overmix the batter, as it can result in tough brownies.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and whisk until smooth.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped cherries.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Let the brownies cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
