Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper with overhangs for easy removal.
- Melt the butter and chocolate together. You can do this in the microwave or on the stovetop. Add the butter and chocolate to a small bowl or saucepan, then microwave or heat over low heat until the ingredients have melted completely. Stir until combined and allow the mixture to cool down slightly.
- Prepare the batter. In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand-held mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat for 60 seconds. The mixture should be frothy and lighter in color. Pour in the cooled chocolate mixture in multiple additions, while beating constantly, and beat until combined. Sift in the cocoa powder, cornstarch, cherries, and salt. Using a silicone spatula or a wooden spoon, mix the ingredients until just combined. Be gentle to keep the cherries from falling apart.
- Bake. Pour the brownie batter into your prepared baking pan and use a spatula to smooth down the top. I like to make sure the cherries are completely submerged. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the tops are set and shiny and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with wet crumbs. Enjoy!
SPICY CHERRY TOKEN COOKIES
Steps:
- For the cookies: Cream the butter, lemon zest, and sugars until light and fluffy. Slowly add the egg and lemon juice. Add the cherries. In another bowl, mix together the flours, baking soda, chile powder, and salt. Add to the butter mixture. Roll in parchment paper to a diameter of 3/4-inch. Chill well (or freeze).
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- When the batter is chilled, slice into 1/4-inch coins. Bake on prepared baking sheet until light golden brown, 12 minutes. Cool slightly.
- For the glaze: Mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice thoroughly.
- Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cookies while still warm.

CHERRY AND SPICE BROWNIE BITES
This is, without a doubt, one of the best brownie recipes I have ever tried. The recipe is from the AARP Nov/Dec magazine. Wanted to post here so it wouldn't be lost. A little does go a long way, because these are so rich! If needed for a cookie exchange, you could cut these into 1" squares. If for yourself, cut more generously. If you need to serve a crowd, increase the recipe by 2 1/2 times and bake in a 9"x13" pan. They will need a little more time in the oven this way. Make sure to test for doneness with a knife.

Steps:
- Center a rack in the oven and preheat to 325F degrees. Line an 8" square baking pan with aluminum foil and butter the foil or use nonstick foil.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and spices.
- Put a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water. Put the butter in the bottom of the bowl, then add the chopped chocolates. Heat, stirring occasionally, just until the ingredients are melted - don't get them so hot that the butter separates. Remove the bowl from the pan.
- Using a whisk, stir the sugars into the butter-chocolate mixture. Add the eggs, one at a time. Add the vanilla and the grated orange zest and whisk the mixture energetically. Gently mix in the dry ingredients, stirring only until they are incorporated. Switch to a rubber spatula and fold in the nuts and cherries. Turn the batter into the prepared pan and even the top with the spatula.
- Bake the brownies for about 25 minutes, or until the top no longer looks wet and a thin knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Place the pan on a rack and cool to room temperature.
- When the brownies are cool, turn them over onto the rack, peel away the foil, and invert them onto a cutting board. Using a ruler and a long, thin knife, cut the brownies into 1"x1" bites.
- Storage tips: Wellpwrapped and uncut, the brownies will keep at room temperature for 4 to 5 days; cut, they will keep for about 3 days. They can be frozen for up to 2 months.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350; prepare 9x9-inch or 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or butter flavored non-stick cooking spray.
- Cream butter with mixer; margarine or spreads are not recommended.
- Add sugar and red pepper to the butter; cream with mixer until fluffy.
- Using a wooden spoon, stir in vanilla, almond extract, and eggs until just combined; do not overbeat; do not use mixer; overbeating results in brownies that rise too much during baking, and then fall as they cool.
- If spicier brownies are desired, add jalapenos.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, cinnamon, and salt; adding ingredients separately to butter mixture can result in overbeating.
- Gently stir the dry ingredients into butter mixture; if desired add chocolate chips to the butter mixture with the dry ingredients; stir until combined.
- Spread mixture into prepared pan; if desired, evenly spread walnut pieces over the top of the batter.
- For a 9x9-inch pan, bake on center rack for 35 to 40 minutes; for a 9x13-inch pan, bake on center rack for 30 to 35 minutes.
- Cool on a wire rack and cut into squares.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe cherries for the best flavor. If fresh cherries are unavailable, you can use frozen cherries that have been thawed and drained.
- Be sure to pit the cherries before using them. You can use a cherry pitter or a paring knife to remove the pits.
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking pan, you can use two 8-inch square baking pans. Just be sure to reduce the baking time by 5-10 minutes.
- Let the brownies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
