Chocolate Chip Cherry Bars

I have been on a cherry kick this summer and have purchased too many so I was in need of a recipe to use them in.  I found many that looked yummy, but this one had great reviews so I wanted to try it first. I found this recipe on AverieCooks.com.  I used Sweet Cherries and I milled soft white wheat for the flour.  They turned out so good.  A bit on the sweet side which stops me from eating too many at a time which is a good thing.  Otherwise I think I could eat them all at once.  I baked them for the full 32 minutes and they were still quite gooey in the middle but I’m ok with them gooey.  When I combined the ingredients, I just threw everything in and stirred.  Next time I’ll do a better job following instructions and combine the brown sugar and butter first.  And I might add slightly more flour for a little less gooey. 

I will definitely be making these again but with frozen cherries since they are now out of season and frozen will be all I have until next summer.  Below is a picture of my final product.  Almost matches my countertops.  🙂
