Method
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and fluffy.
- Add the whole egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mix, stirring until no flour streaks remain.
- Stir in the chopped cherries and chocolate chips with a spatula.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them 2 inches apart on your tray.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are golden but centers still look soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
These cookies are great for any occasion—think gifts, parties, or just because! Feel free to substitute maraschino cherries with dried ones or even try using dark chocolate for a richer flavor. To keep cookies soft, store them in an airtight container with a slice of bread to retain moisture. If you want thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
