Instructions

First brown the butter

In a medium saucepan, start melting the butter over medium heat. Once it starts boiling gently stir the melter butter with a wooden spoon or gently swirl the pan to continuously stir it. After a couple of minutes the butter will change color, going from light yellow to deep golden yellow similar to honey color. There will be bubbles at the top so continue stirring the melted butter to see the color change.
½ cup butter
Once small brown bits begin to form and a nutty smell comes from the butter, you will know that it is ready. The butter can burn very quickly once it starts smelling nutty so don't walk away from it.
Right away transfer the melted browned butter to a heatproof bowl and cool down in the fridge for about an hour. You want your butter to solidify so that you get the perfect thick chocolate chip cookies

Now onto the chocolate chip cookies

Preheat the oven to 375F then line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside.
Once the brown butter is solid, transfer it to your stand mixer bowl. Add in the brown sugar and the granulated sugar and mix to combine. Add in the egg, and the vanilla, and mix one more time to get everything well incorporated.
½ cup packed brown sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 egg, 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Now add in the flour, the baking soda, and the salt and stir just until combined. Avoid over-mixing the cookie dough! Add in the chocolate chips, and cherries, and fold to evenly distribute them.
1 cup flour + 2TBSP, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, ⅔ cups semi sweet or dark chocolate chips, ¾ cup dried cherries
Using a large cookie scooper or a ¼ cup measuring cup, scoop out the cookie dough and place it on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes.
When the cookies are baked, pull them out of the oven, top with more cherries and chocolate chips if you'd like then, let them cool down on the baking sheet for 10 minutes and then transfer them to a cooling wrack.
Enjoy these cookies with a large glass of milk.
