  • Scoop out about 2-3 tablespoon-sized portions, shape into a ball, and place onto the baking sheet 2-inches apart and lightly flatten the tops. Add more chips, cherries or chopped pecans pressed into the surface of the cookies if you want more flavor with each bite.
  • Bake one sheet at a time for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. Remove the pan from the oven and cool for 10 minutes on the sheet.
