Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups vanilla chips
- 1 cup dried cherries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the pure vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure soft cookies.
Fold in the vanilla chips and dried cherries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Vanilla Chip Cherry Cookies. Store any extras in an airtight container for up to a week.
