Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350°F and place a rack in the center position. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
• In a large bowl, beat the butter until smooth. Add the brown sugar and sugar and cream together until the mixture is light and fluffy, scraping down the bowl as needed.
• Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sea salt, and baking soda.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed (or fold by hand) until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Stir in the white chocolate chips and dried cherries until evenly distributed through the dough.
• Drop rounded tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
• Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops are set.
• Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
