Method
 

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream Butter & Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into the butter mixture until well combined.
  5. Fold in Cherries & Chocolate: Gently stir in the chopped cherries and chocolate chips.
  6. Scoop Dough: Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets.

  8. Cool: Let the cookies sit on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
