Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams dried cherries
- 100 grams pecans, chopped
- 1 large egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a thick dough forms.
Fold in the dried cherries and chopped pecans with a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan and press it evenly into the pan using your hands or the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the slice cool completely in the pan.
Once cooled, lift the slice out of the pan using the edges of the parchment paper. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into 12 equal bars or squares.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
