# Steps:
01 -
Pit and dice the cherries into small pieces, then set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter, canola or vegetable oil, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and egg. Mix with an electric mixer until smooth.

Gently fold in diced cherries using a wooden spoon, distributing evenly throughout the dough.
06 -
Lightly coat cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.

Use a 1/4 cup cookie scoop to portion dough. Arrange the scoops on prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each.

Bake at 350°F (177°C) for 18 to 20 minutes or until edges are lightly golden and centers are set. Rotate baking sheets between oven racks every seven minutes to ensure even baking.

Chopping the cherries finely ensures an even distribution of fruit and prevents excess moisture in the dough.
