Recipe Introduction


These easy-to-prepare bar cookies are the perfect treat after summer sporting events.


List of Ingredients




1-1/2 cups (12 oz.) unsalted butter, softened
1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
1-1/2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups pitted and halved fresh sweet cherries
1/3 cup sliced almonds


Recipe



Put butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed 3 to 4 minutes, or until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
Grease the sides and bottom of a 13x9x2-inch baking pan; set aside.

Combine flour, baking soda and salt; mix well. Add to butter mixture; beat 3 to 4 minutes, or until smooth batter forms. Spread half the batter in prepared pan. Scatter cherry halves over batter. Place spoonfuls of remaining batter on top of cherries; gently spread to cover fruit. Sprinkle almonds on top.

Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven 30 to 35 minutes, or until wooden pick or skewer inserted in middle comes out clean. Makes 16 bars.
