- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until there are no lumps.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
- Gently fold in the chopped maraschino cherries and chocolate chips.
- Using rounded tablespoons of dough, drop them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers remain soft.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge or freeze for up to 3 months. To crisp them up, warm them in an oven at 350°F for a few minutes.
