Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup light brown sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups vanilla chips
• 1 cup dried cherries

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the pure vanilla extract.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure soft cookies.

Step 6

Fold in the vanilla chips and dried cherries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your delicious Vanilla Chip Cherry Cookies. Store any extras in an airtight container for up to a week.
