Cherry Vanilla Cookies
What is it about this time of year that makes you want to bake cookies. I love home baked cookies because I love a chewy gooey cookie and I can control the texture through baking. I am a cookie snob. There I said it. Yes, I am a true cookie snob who likes her cookies soft and chewy and laced with more than just chocolate chips. My secret to a soft and chewy cookie is the baking time. I bake them for about 9-11 minutes – just until the bottom is ever-so-slightly golden. Then I take them out of the oven and leave them alone on top of the stove for another 5 minutes or so. After they cool slightly, I put them on a wire rack. Like these Cherry Vanilla Cookies….. make sure you eat one warm while it soft and gooey!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Beat the butter and two sugars together in a large bowl or electric mixer. Add almond extract and eggs. Mix well.
Gradually mix in flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in vanilla chips and dried cherries. Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until just starting to lightly brown on top. Enjoy! Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
