Description:

Indulge in the delightful taste of Cherry Squares, a quick and easy dessert featuring luscious cherry pie filling. These bars are perfect for any occasion, from a sweet treat at home to a party dessert for large groups. Sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 can cherry pie filling

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 15×10-inch jellyroll pan lightly.

  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. Add Eggs: Gradually add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.

  4. Incorporate Flour: Gradually add the flour to the mixture, beating well until the batter is smooth and well combined.

  5. Add Flavor: Stir in the vanilla extract, infusing the batter with delicious flavor.

  6. Prepare the Pan: Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared jellyroll pan, ensuring it covers the entire surface.

  7. Mark Squares: Using a knife, lightly cut through the batter to mark off 24 squares, ensuring they are evenly sized.

  8. Add Cherry Filling: Spoon about 2 teaspoons of cherry pie filling into the center of each marked square, distributing it evenly.

  9. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the squares are lightly browned and fully cooked. Be sure to watch carefully, as they can burn easily.

  10. Cool: Allow the Cherry Squares to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes to set.

  11. Slice and Serve: Once cooled, cut the squares along the marked lines and remove them from the pan. Serve and enjoy!
