Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup butter I used salted
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 36 maraschino cherries

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350* F
  • Chop the maraschino cherries into quarters and eighths- variation is good! Roll in a paper towel to get rid of excess moisture.
  • Cream butter and sugars. Beat together on high for 2 minutes, scrape down the sides. Add eggs, almond extract and vanilla extract and beat for 1 more minute. Mix in dry ingredients until juuuust combined- be careful not to over mix! Add maraschino cherries and white chocolate chips and mix briefly, again being very careful not to over mix. See pictures above for a visual on this.

  • Bake at 350 for 10 minutes or until light golden brown. The top of the cookie should be matte and the edges should be set.

Notes

Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for 8 seconds for that soft just-out-of-the-oven texture.
Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. I like to put them in while they are still slightly warm. This gives them that super soft texture we love!
Be careful not to over mix once you add the dry ingredients. Mix only until combined, then fold in the cherries and white chips. This will keep the cookies soft and chewy. These cookies have a tendency to get tough if they are over worked and over mixed.
