By danyell923

Ingredients

• 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
• 4 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
• 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup packed light-brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup dried tart cherries

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

In a large bowl, using a mixer, beat butter and both sugars on high until pale and fluffy, 3 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Reduce speed to low, add flour mixture, and beat until combined. Stir in chocolate chips and cherries.

Press mixture into a 9-by-13-inch metal baking pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 28 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
