Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Dried tart cherries
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
Step 3
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Step 4
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Using a spatula or wooden spoon, fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and dried tart cherries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
Step 8
Bake each batch in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
