From the blog For Love of the Table
1 c. dried tart cherries—coarsely chopped if very large (6 oz.)
2 T. brandy
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour (6 oz.)
1/2 t. baking powder
1 t. salt
1 1/4 c. (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. golden brown sugar
4 eggs, at room temperature
2 t. vanilla
4 oz. unsweetened chocolate, melted
1 1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
Place the cherries in a bowl and toss with the brandy. Cover and let sit for an hour or two (or overnight, if you have time).
Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan and line the bottom with a piece of parchment. Grease the parchment and flour the pan. Set aside.
Combine the dry ingredients and set aside. Briefly cream the butter and sugars together (just until smooth—the mixture doesn't need to be "light & fluffy"). Beat in the eggs one at a time. Beat in the vanilla. Stir in the dry ingredients, followed by the melted chocolate. Mix in the chocolate chips and dried cherries along with any unabsorbed brandy. Spread the batter in the prepared pan. Bake in a 350° oven until a toothpick comes out clean—30 to 35 minutes. Cool completely—overnight is best. Turn out of the pan and flip back onto a cutting board. Cut into 48 squares.
