My mommy yelled at me this week, for a boring blog that was lacking updates… I am VERY sorry, work had been crazy and were trying to get ready to move. I am sorry to all you blog readers, as well as my dear mother 
I actually made these earlier this week but just hadn’t taken a picture of them, I was not the happiest with the result, they aren’t bad, but I like the other blondie recipe better. I had bought a thing of Almond paste a while back, and had NO clue what to make with it. I finally decided to make some cherry almond blondies, I was expecting a killer blondie, but came out with an ok blondie.
I followed an outline recipe from Gillan at Gillan’s Goodies. To find her recipe from Amaretto Brownies go here. Below is my recipe for Cherry Almond Blondies
Cherry Almond Blondies (From: Myself)

1 cup brown sugar
-
1/2 cup almond paste
-
2 T. half and half
-
1 tsp. vanilla or almond extract
-
2 eggs

1/2 t. baking powder

2/3 c. flour

1 c. cherry chips
Preheat oven to 350. Grease an 8 or 9 inch square pan.
Melt almond paste and butter in a sauce pan, cool slightly.
Beat in brown sugar until smooth and mixed in.
Mix in half and half and extract, then add eggs one at a time.
Beat in flour and baking powder. Add cherry chips.
Pour into prepared pan, bake 20-30 minutes and until the center comes out clean on a tooth pick.

Well it certainly looks good!
There are no cherries in your Cherry Almond Brownie recipe.
Oh… bummer they were just OK
Sigh… it sounded like it would be tasty!
kudos for trying, though! You really never know what you’ll get when you fiddle with baking recipes, huh?
I’m going to try to get some cherries and then add them into that amaretto brownie recipe that I have – we’ll see how that works out!
Your right, there is no actually cherries, but the cherry chips give it a cherry flavor.
There are no cherry chips in your recipe either, though.
Thank you! I have changed the recipe to reflect the cherry chips!
