Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Make sure it's softened for easy mixing.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips You can substitute half for dark chocolate.
  • 1 cup dried cherries

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring everything is well-combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until the flour disappears.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and dried cherries until evenly distributed.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced a couple of inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the centers appear slightly underbaked.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

To keep cookies fresh, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. They freeze well for about 3 months.
