Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract until smooth and blended (1-2 minutes).
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until combined.
  5. Fold in chopped maraschino cherries and chocolate chips carefully with a spatula.
  6. Scoop heaping spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the lined baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, watching for golden edges.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
