Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup butter, at room temperature
½ cup white sugar
3 large eggs
1 ½ cups light brown sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnuts
½ cup maraschino cherries, drained and chopped

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with aluminum foil.
Mix 2 cups flour, butter, and white sugar together into a smooth dough in a large bowl. Press evenly into prepared pan to make crust.
Bake in the preheated oven until crust is lightly golden, about 12 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
Whisk eggs in a large bowl until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, baking powder, and salt; mix well until smooth. Fold in walnuts and maraschino cherries. Spread filling over baked crust.
Bake in the preheated oven until filling is set and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove oven and allow to cool completely, 30 to 45 minutes.

I'm not a big fan of walnuts, but I really enjoyed these bars. The cherries and the chocolate chips were the perfect complement to the walnuts.

The bars were a little dry, but they were still tasty. I think I'll try adding some more butter or oil next time.
