Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ Cup Flour
  • ¾ Cup Sugar
  • ¾ Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 Tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Cup Butter Room Temperature
  • 1 Cup Chocolate Chips
  • 3/4 Cup Chopped Cherries

Instructions
 

  • Set butter out to reach room temperature and preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Pat the cherries dry, chop the cherries using a chopper. Dry the cherries again to remove extra moisture.
  • Add butter, egg, and vanilla to the bowl and mix.
  • Add flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda to the bowl and mix until smooth.
  • Gently fold in chocolate chips and cherries.
  • Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
  • Line the cookie sheets with a silicone mat, parchment paper, or spray with nonstick spray to prevent cookies from sticking. Then, scoop out 9 dough balls onto the cookie sheet, spacing them about one inch apart.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden brown.
  • Let cookies rest for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

Notes

  • Fold in cherries to keep them intact.
  • Add extra cherries for a stronger cherry flavor.
