Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup dried cherries
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 and 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with a hand or stand mixer.
  4. Beat in 1 large egg and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently stir in 1 cup of dried cherries, 1/2 cup of sliced almonds, and 1 cup of chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop the dough onto your prepared baking sheets, about 2 tablespoons per cookie. Leave 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

[‘Make sure your butter is properly softened—not melted.’, ‘Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the cookies chewy.’, ‘Use fresh ingredients for the best results.’, ‘Toast sliced almonds for extra flavor.’, ‘Chill the dough for an hour before baking to enhance flavor and prevent spreading.’]
