Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 egg large, room temp
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour spooned & leveled
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup maraschino cherries drained & chopped
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment.
  • Beat butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
  • Mix in egg and vanilla on low until combined, then medium speed for 30 seconds.
  • Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to wet mixture on low speed.
  • Gently fold in chopped cherries and white chocolate chips with a spatula.
  • Cover and chill dough for at least 30 minutes to control spread.
  • Portion dough into 1.5-inch scoops, spacing 2 inches apart on sheets.
  • Bake 10–12 minutes until edges are light golden and centers set.
  • Let rest on sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Drain and pat cherries dry to prevent excess moisture; store in airtight container up to 3 days or freeze dough for up to 3 months.
