How to Make Cherry And Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup fresh or frozen pitted cherries, 1 tablespoon cherry liqueur, and 2 tablespoons water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing cherries to soften slightly. Remove from heat and let soak for 15 minutes.
  4. Drain cherries well and pat dry with paper towels.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  7. Beat in 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon almond extract until well combined.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  9. Stir in the drained cherries and 2 cups chocolate chips.
  10. Scoop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between each cookie.
  11. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, rotating baking sheets halfway through. Keep a close eye on the cookies as ovens vary.
  12. Remove cookies from baking sheets and let cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
