Cherry Blondies
Report
These Cherry Blondies combine a rich, almond-flavored cookie base with a sweet swirl of cherry jam. They are incredibly quick and easy to make for an informal dessert.

Ingredients
- 1½ cups (188 grams) bleached, all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (62 grams) almond flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup (2 sticks or 227 grams) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (192 grams) dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon almond liqueur or 1 teaspoon almond extract
- ½ cup cherry jam
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9 inch square pan or line the pan with parchment paper and lightly butter the paper.
- Sift or whisk the flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a medium sized bowl.
- Brown the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it starts to darken and the "popping" sound stops. Let cool slightly.
- Add the sugars to a mixing bowl, add the brown butter without scraping the bits at the bottom of the pan, and beat until combined.
- Beat in the eggs for one minute, one at a time, scraping down the side of the bowl as necessary.
- Beat in the almond liqueur.
- Mix in the dry ingredients just until uniform.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan.
- Dollop the cherry jam on top of the batter. Then use a knife to swirl the jam into the batter, being careful not to go to the bottom of the pan.
- Bake your cherry blondies for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the blondies comes out clean and the blondies are just slightly firm to the touch. Cover the blondies loosely with foil if they are browning quickly.
- If you used parchment paper, let the blondies cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then use the parchment to remove the blondies to a rack.
- Store cherry blondies at room temperature for up to 1 to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Lining the baking pan with parchment makes it easier to cut the cherry blondies.
- Light brown sugar can be substituted for dark brown sugar in this recipe. It will just give a slightly less prominent taste.
- Vanilla can be substituted for the almond liqueur because they have similar alcohol by volume.
