Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips and chopped cherries gently.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely before serving.
