Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and dried cherries.
• Drop tablespoon-sized mounds of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
• Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until cookies are golden brown around the edges. Allow to cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
