Equipment

  • 1 9x13" glass baking dish
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 sharp knife to chop candied cherries

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter softened (1 1/2 sticks)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp. half-and-half or milk
  • 1 tsp. real vanilla extract
  • 2 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (Bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 cup candied red cherries chopped
  • 1 cup pecans chopped
  • 1 cup coconut
  • 11.5 oz. bag white chocolate chips NOT vanilla chips or premiere white baking chips

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream brown sugar, butter, egg, milk, vanilla, salt and baking soda with an electric mixer until smooth.
  • Fold in flour, cherries, pecans, coconut and white chocolate chips with a wooden spoon.
  • Pat the mixture down into a greased 9x13” glass baking dish. (I had to keep my hands moist to do this).
  • Bake at 375° for approximately 20-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

NOTE: If desired, sprinkle an additional ¼ cup chopped cherries on top before baking.
 
NOTE: I wet my hands before patting the mixture into pan.
 
NOTE: I made eight batches of this recipe. I put two batches in greased 12 1/2x17 1/2” cookie sheets. I rotated cookie sheets on racks after 15 minutes of baking time. Each 12x17” cookie sheet yields 48 brownies.
 
NOTE: Since I was baking 12x17” cookie sheets, the brownies took about 35-37 minutes to bake until done.
