Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking dish.
Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Mix in the brown sugar until well combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
Gently fold in the chopped cherries and chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let the blondies cool before cutting into squares.
