Tips for Making the Best Cheery Cherry Cookies

* Use fresh, ripe cherries for the best flavor. * Pit the cherries before using them. * Toss the cherries in a little flour before adding them to the batter. This will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cookies. * Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. * Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape. * Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature (350 degrees F) for 10-12 minutes, or until they are just set. * Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving.
