Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup dried cherries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together using an electric mixer until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, beating on low speed until just combined.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and dried cherries using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
