# Steps:

04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the butter mixture, blending thoroughly.
05 - Gently fold chopped maraschino cherries and semisweet chocolate chips into the dough.
06 - Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them evenly.
07 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden. Allow to cool on baking sheets for several minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure cherries are well-drained and patted dry to prevent excess moisture in cookies.
