Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the large eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually blend the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped maraschino cherries.
  7. Drop rounded mounds of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
