Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup maraschino cherries, drained and chopped
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped cherries and chocolate chips, being careful not to overmix.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, place mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers look soft.
- Let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For an extra burst of cherry flavor, consider replacing half of the chocolate chips with white chocolate chips.
