Ingredients Method Nutrition Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup salted butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 egg + egg yolk room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup maraschino cherries patted dry and chopped
  • Flaked salt for topping

Method
 

  1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
  2. Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt until evenly combined.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixer, cream the softened salted butter and both sugars together until fluffy—about 5 minutes.
  4. Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and egg yolk until just combined, then add in the vanilla extract.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
  6. Fold in Chocolate and Cherries: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped maraschino cherries.
  7. Scoop Dough: Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop dough into 1.5 to 2 tablespoon balls, placing them about 2 inches apart on your prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake Cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until just set. Watch for a golden edge while the center remains a bit soft.
  9. Add Flaked Salt: As soon as they come out of the oven, sprinkle a pinch of flaked salt on top.
  10. Cool Completely: Allow your cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.

Notes

  • Dry Cherries Well: Thoroughly pat the maraschino cherries dry to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for optimal emulsification.
  • Chill the Dough: Consider chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Choose Your Chocolate: Swap in dark or milk chocolate chips for a variation.
  • Monitor Baking Time: Keep an eye on the cookies during the last few minutes of baking.
