Equipment
- Cherry pitter
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free flour
- 1 Teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup pitted cherries
- 2 sticks of unsalted butter melted
- ½ Teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Take the pits out of the cherries and remove the stems. You can use a cherry pitter or a straw. Set aside.
- Combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs together with an electric mixer in a medium bowl.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
