Preheat your oven to 325F and line an 8" x 8" baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, either using a hand mixer or a standing mixer, beat the sugar and eggs for about 5 minutes.
Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the bowl and beat for another 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the flour, cocoa powder and salt to the wet ingredients. Do not over mix, a few streaks of flour remaining are fine.
Gently fold in the cherries and chocolate chips to the batter.
Transfer the batter to the lined baking pan and spread it into an even layer. Bake the brownies for approximately 45 minutes, until the edges are set, but the middle is slightly underdone.
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely before cutting them into pieces. Then enjoy!
