Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup maraschino cherries drained and chopped
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
  • In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well, then stir in vanilla.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in chopped maraschino cherries and chocolate chips. If the dough is too soft, chill for 20 minutes.
  • Scoop rounded tablespoons onto prepared sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are golden but centers stay soft.
  • Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
