How to Make Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped cherries.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft. Do not overbake!
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
