Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by creaming the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually incorporate into the wet ingredients on low speed.
- Fold in chocolate chips and chopped maraschino cherries, and nuts if using, being careful not to overmix.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop portions of dough onto the prepared sheets, flatten slightly, and bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Ensure your butter is softened but not melted and use a cookie scoop for uniform dough balls.
