Makes 36 bars
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 9 ounces white chocolate chunks or pieces
- 1 ½ cups dried cherries
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Have ready a 13-by-9-inch baking pan. (If desired, line the pan with a sheet of heavy-duty foil letting the foil extend 2 inches over the sides; smooth the foil as much as possible.)
- Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- In a large electric mixer bowl, cream butter until light. Beat in both sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until smooth. Beat in vanilla. On low speed, gradually add flour mixture just until smooth. Do not overbeat. Use a large spoon to stir in the white chocolate chunks, cherries and pecans.
- Spread evenly over bottom of pan. Bake until golden around the edges and set in the center, about 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. Lift the bars out of the pan with the foil. Invert onto a cutting board and peel off the foil. Use a large knife to cut into small squares.
