How to Make Quick And Easy Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs. Beat until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips and 1 cup maraschino cherries, drained and halved.
- Divide the dough in half. Shape one half into 16 balls (approximately 1.5 inches in diameter).
- Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat steps 6-8 with the remaining dough.
- While cookies cool, melt 12 ounces of your favorite candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, fit a decorating bag with a star tip and fill with white decorating icing.
- Dip maraschino cherry halves into the melted chocolate and place on the cookies using the icing as a glue.
- Let the icing and chocolate set for about 20 minutes before storing.
