  • 1 cup dried cherries or fresh to elevate the taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it warms up, gather all your ingredients.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until fluffy.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, combining well.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in Almonds and Cherries: Gently fold the chopped almonds and cherries into the cookie dough until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop and Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
