Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.

- Add in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low speed until a soft dough forms.
- Fold in the chocolate and cherry chips until evenly distributed.
- Scoop the dough into 1-tablespoon portions and place them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet (Reynolds pre-cut parchment paper works great!).
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set.
- Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy with a glass of milk or a cup of hot cocoa!
