Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the halved cherries over the parchment and sprinkle with sugar. Roast for 10 minutes and allow to cool.
Lower the oven temperature to 325°F and prepare an 8×8 baking pan by spraying it with non-stick spray and lining it with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt; set aside.
Using a mixer, beat together sugar, eggs, and egg yolk at high speed for 5 minutes. Add in the melted butter and oil while mixing on low until combined.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula until just combined.
Incorporate half of the roasted cherries and chocolate chips into the batter.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out evenly. Bake for 40-50 minutes until edges are set but center remains slightly underdone.
Allow cooling completely before cutting into squares and topping with remaining roasted cherries.
