Ingredients

1 cup butter, plus more for greasing
3 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup dried cherries
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 13-by-9-inch baking dish.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter, sugar and vanilla extract. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly combined. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl to get any butter that might have gotten stuck.

In a separate bowl sift together the flour, cocoa powder, cayenne, salt and cinnamon.

Slowly beat the dry ingredients into the butter mixture. Continue mixing until evenly combined, but avoid over-mixing. Gently fold in the cherries and chocolate chips using a rubber spatula. Pour the batter into the baking dish and use the spatula to level the top of the batter.

Bake until the brownies are set and a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the brownies to a cooling rack, and cool completely before serving.
