Ingredients:

Serving

3/4 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tbsp plus 1-1/2 tsp sugar
1/8 tsp almond extract
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/8 tsp salt
filling:
1 cup plus 2 tbsp packed brown sugar
3/4 cup butter, cubed
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
1/4 tsp salt
2-3/4 cups chopped walnuts, divided
1 cup dried cherries, chopped
2-1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugars and extract until light and fluffy. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Press onto the bottom of an ungreased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges begin to brown.

Remove from the heat. Stir in 2-1/2 cups walnuts, cherries and vanilla; spread over crust. Bake 15-20 minutes or until bubbly. Sprinkle with baking chips and remaining walnuts; lightly press into filling. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Yield: 6-1/2 dozen.
