Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the vanilla and egg until well combined.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing well.
• Gently fold in the dried cherries and chocolate chips.
• Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
• Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
