1 pinch salt

5 cups unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Flavor and Mix-Ins

1 cup dark chocolate chips
10 -
5 cups mocha chips
11 -
75 cups dried cherries, cut into small pieces
# How to Make It:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F and put parchment paper on two cookie sheets.
02 -
Put the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and stir them together with a whisk.
03 -
Take a big mixing bowl and mix the room temperature butter with both brown and granulated sugar until you get a fluffy, light mixture.
04 -
Drop in the egg and splash in the vanilla extract to your butter mix and beat everything until it's all blended together.
05 -
Slowly add your flour mix to the wet stuff, stirring just enough so everything comes together into dough.
06 -
Gently stir in the dark chocolate chips, mocha chips, and the chopped dried cherries so they spread out evenly in the dough.
07 -
Use a spoon to drop big dollops of dough onto your prepared sheets, making sure they're about 2 inches apart from each other.
08 -
Bake each batch for 22 to 25 minutes until you see the edges turning golden and the middles just getting firm.
09 -
Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then move them to a wire rack until they're totally cool.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Make sure your butter isn't too cold or too melty, and don't go crazy with the mixing after you add the flour or you'll get tough cookies.
02 -
Throwing in some chunky salt bits really balances out the sweetness and makes everything taste more interesting.
03 -
If you don't eat eggs, you can mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water as a swap.
