Cherry-Almond Brown Butter Blondies with White and Dark Chocolate Chips

February 3, 2016 by Faith 10 Comments

Cherry-Almond Brown Butter Blondies with White and Dark Chocolate Chips will make you a winner no matter what team you’re rooting for on game day!

Cherry-Almond Brown Butter Blondies with White and Dark Chocolate Chips 1

Let’s be real here; I’m just not that into football. To me, the only legitimate reason I can think of to attend a Super Bowl party would be for the food. (Ok, and maybe for the halftime show and/or commercials.)

Cherry-Almond Brown Butter Blondies with White and Dark Chocolate Chips 2

Being originally from Buffalo, I’m no stranger to football (and having the Bills as my hometown team might just explain my boredom with/apathy toward football). Arguably, the Bills are one of the worst (or at least the most disappointing) teams in the NFL. I have heard my dad say “we’re in a rebuilding year” every single year for as long as I can remember, lol. But what truly baffles me is that the Bills continue to have the most loyal fans ever…all over the world! I take pride in the true loyalty of Buffalonians, if nothing else.

But like I said, the Super Bowl isn’t a total loss (even if your team is); the food is always fabulous! Enter these pretty little blondies, which are fully loaded with goodies. Here I paired dried cherries with toasted almonds and both white and dark chocolate…because it just felt right. (How could I choose between white and dark chocolate for this recipe? They both go so well with cherries and almonds. I could no sooner choose a favorite football team, albeit for very different reasons.)

Cherry-Almond Brown Butter Blondies with White and Dark Chocolate Chips
Prep time:  20 mins
Cook time:  25 mins
Total time:  45 mins
Yield: 1 (8 by 8-inch pan), about 12 servings
 
Cherry-Almond Brown Butter Blondies with White and Dark Chocolate Chips will make you a winner no matter what team you’re rooting for on game day!
Ingredients
  • 10 tablespoons (142 g) unsalted butter, browned and cooled slightly (see Note)
  • ¾ cup (150 g) sugar (I used Wholesome! Organic Cane Sugar)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon molasses
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup (128 g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground mahlab (optional)
  • ½ cup dried cherries
  • ½ cup toasted slivered almonds
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F; line an 8 by 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper so that it hangs over all 4 sides and you can just lift out the blondies.
  2. Whisk together the brown butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, molasses, and almond extract. Stir in the flour, salt, and mahlab, and then fold in the cherries, almonds, and chocolate chips.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until golden on the outside, but still a touch doughy in the center, about 20 to 23 minutes (be careful not to overbake, as these are best gooey in the center).
  4. Cool completely before cutting.
Notes
Recipe adapted from my recipe for Butterbeer Brown Butter Blondies with Toasted Pecans.

    I am so glad to hear that I am not the only one who attends football parties for the food only. The game rarely holds my attention. Your Blondies will be a hit at any party. Great recipe.

    Wow, let me just take these images in and drool. I am a blondie eating machine, love any kind, but the chocolate and caramel versions always steal my heart. Glad you brought in the cherry here and the almond pairs so well.
    To be honest with you I am the same way. Not that big into football, but love exciting big games, the entertainment and commercials. Plus, it’s a day to EAT, lots… and not always good for you things. Thanks for this one! :)

Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently serv Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently served with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of fresh dill. You can boil or fry them, they freeze like a dream (and they cook directly from frozen!), and they make a big batch so you’ll have a freezer stash of easy dinners for busy nights. But fair warning, these are definitely a labor of love. I made them last spring on a Zoom call with ma chérie Evelyne of @cultureatz that involved ridiculous amounts of laughter, and the shenanigans of us hand making about 100 dumplings each! I’m definitely a bad blogger for not sharing the recipe until now lol. But it’s (finally!) up and you can check it out on @anediblemosaic 🥰 —> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/pelmeni-recipe-russian-dumplings/ #dumplings #dumplingsfordays #russianfood #pelmeni #foodstyling #foodstylist #foodphotography #photography #moodygrams #lightandshadow
The other day Dan and I were at an antique store a The other day Dan and I were at an antique store and we happened to find one of the vendors who was putting out #vintage #valentinesday cards she had found in one of her storage units. 💌 These are from the 1930s/1940s! She was a third generation antique dealer and she said she still has several full rooms to sort through! (I love the treasure hunt of that, it’s like exploring in your grandparents’ attic.) Anyway, I had to buy a couple cards because they’re completely charming. #happyvalentinesday, lovelies. 🥰 #valentines #romantic #flatlay #valentinesmood #vintageprops #propstyling #propstylist #photography
#ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to mak #ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to make for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day this weekend, you’ve come to the right place! This meal is easy, fast (no one will guess it whips up in less than 15 minutes!), and impressive. And soooo good. 🥰
 
What’s on the menu? Pan seared chicken in a savory cream sauce. Steamed green beans. And Fresh Blends Ready to Cook Idaho Potatoes!
 
Let’s talk sides first. Steamed green beans are easy, and they round out the meal well. Or you could go with broccoli if you want.
 
The real star of the side dish show are these flavorful @eagleeyeproduce potatoes! They’re family grown in Idaho. Fresh-cut, never cooked, never frozen, with no preservatives. And they cook up easily with a one-step cooking process (just 8 minutes in the microwave, or you can do them on the stovetop to get them crispy). Check out their website to find their store locator to see where they’re available near you --> https://eagleeyeproduce.com/store-locator/
 
And now the chicken! Inspired by the famous “Marry Me Chicken”, this recipe checks all the right boxes and has all the bells and whistles. Chicken cutlets cook up quick on the stovetop, and then a luscious cream sauce flavored with garlic, fresh herbs, and sundried tomatoes cooks in the same skillet. Take a look at the recipe in the comments below.
 
Who says a beautiful, romantic meal has to be complicated, right? ❤️

This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is the perfect dessert for you and your sweetheart this Valentine's Day, and it's even more special because it was made for a cause. ❤️

This is the 5th year in a row that Julie from @thelittlekitchn has organized the Cookies for Kid's Cancer Valentine's Event to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer, and I'm honored to be part of it.

Cancer is the top cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. And the National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%.⁣

I developed this recipe last year on a whim one af I developed this recipe last year on a whim one afternoon when I really just wanted a slice of chocolate cake. 🎉🙈 I wasn't going to post the recipe, but it was pretty and one thing led to another and I styled and snapped a few pictures. It really is crazy delicious and it whips up in just 10 minutes in the microwave (and it has just 5g net carbs per serving!). And so here it is, lol.
