Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray an 8 x 8 baking dish or pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy brownie removal.
Whisk melted butter and sugar together in a large bowl. Add eggs and vanilla and whisk again. Add chocolate and whisk until just combined.
Pat cherries dry with a paper towel and toss with 2 tbsp. flour
In a medium bowl, whisk together ¾ cup flour, salt, and cocoa powder.
Pour flour mixture into wet ingredients and stir until just combined.*
Fold flour-coated cherries and chocolate chips into batter.
Bake for 22-26 minutes until set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let brownies fully cool in pan before removing and slicing.
Enjoy!
Notes
*I think this is THE singular most important thing to note with brownies. If you overmix, you'll have cakey brownies.
