Ingredients
1½ cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp pure almond extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 (12-ounce) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (10-ounce) jar maraschino cherries (drained and quartered)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together butter, sugar, egg, and almond extract until light and fluffy.
Add flour, salt, and baking soda; mix until just combined.
Gently fold in chocolate chips and chopped cherries.
Chill dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Roll dough into 2-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 12–14 minutes until lightly golden.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Pat cherries dry well to avoid excess moisture in dough.
Chilling helps prevent cookies from spreading too much.
For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla along with almond extract.
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
