Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then beat on medium speed until smooth.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in chocolate chips, chopped cherries, and sliced almonds.
  7. Scoop out mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each scoop.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and centers look slightly underbaked.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
