Ingredients

• 200 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 300 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 150 grams Candied cherries

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and light, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a smooth cookie dough forms.

Step 6

Chop the candied cherries into small pieces and gently fold them into the dough using a spatula.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still look slightly soft.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cherry cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
