  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks, 1 cup chopped maraschino cherries (drained), and ½ cup slivered almonds.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
