How to Make Chocolate Chip Cherry Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in 2 cups chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped maraschino cherries (or fresh cherries, pitted and chopped).
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Avoid overbaking!
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
