Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix-ins
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup dried cherries, chopped
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix well until everything is fully combined.
- Gradually stir in the dry ingredient mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped dried cherries.
Baking
- Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set but slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
