Number Of Ingredients 6

2 sticks butter, softened (1 cup)
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 can cherry pie filling, lg (21 oz)

Steps:

  • Cream butter and sugar together until very light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, then beat in the extracts.
  • Gradually mix in the flour until well incorporated.
  • Spread 3/4 of the batter in the bottom of a 9″x13″ pan lined with parchment paper.
  • Scoop cherry pie filling over batter in pan.
  • Drop remaining batter by spoonfuls over the cherries. (I often use a small cookie scoop and spread the globs out a bit with my fingers.)
  • Bake at 375 for 45 min.
  • Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
  • After being baked and sliced into squares, they can be frozen for up to three months, if you're so inclined.
