Indulge in a heavenly cream cheese bar cookie with walnuts and maraschino cherries.
Ingredients:
  • 1.5 cups margarine, softened
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1.5 cups white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 0.5 cup well-drained chopped maraschino cherries
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • Using an electric mixer, blend margarine, cream cheese, and sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, incorporating each before adding the next. Stir in vanilla with the last egg. Gently mix in flour, salt, chocolate chips, and walnuts until combined. Carefully fold in maraschino cherries until evenly distributed. Spread the batter evenly in the pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out nearly clean. Keep an eye on them - the bars will be very pale when done. If the sides start to pull away from the pan, take them out immediately. Let them cool on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
