Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • ½ cup maraschino cherries, chopped (drained)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Add in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is combined, scraping the sides of the bowl.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until fully combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped maraschino cherries.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each one.
Baking
  1. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
  2. Let them cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks.
Serving
  1. Enjoy your warm, gooey cookies while they’re fresh!

Notes

Chop your cherries evenly for better distribution. Let cookies cool to firm up before serving. Dough can be frozen for later use.
