<h3>Ingredients:</h3>

<ul>

<li>1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened</li>

<li>1 cup granulated sugar</li>

<li>2 large eggs</li>

<li>1 teaspoon vanilla extract</li>

<li>2 cups all-purpose flour</li>

<li>1/2 cup cocoa powder</li>

<li>1 teaspoon baking soda</li>

<li>1/2 teaspoon salt</li>

<li>1 cup dried cherries</li>

<li>1 cup semisweet chocolate chips</li>

<li>1/2 cup white chocolate chips</li>

<li>1/4 cup milk chocolate chips</li>

<h3>Instructions:</h3>

Turn the oven on to 350 degrees Fahrenheit 175 degrees Celsius and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

Beat the softened butter and granulated sugar in a sizable mixing bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy

Beat the butter-sugar mixture thoroughly after adding the eggs and vanilla extract

Mixing until a dough forms, gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients

Mix the semisweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and dried cherries into the cookie dough

Leaving enough space between each cookie, drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the baking sheet that has been prepared

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the centers are still soft but the edges are set, in a preheated oven

After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to finish cooling

While the cookies cool, in a bowl that is safe to be placed in the microwave, melt the milk chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring after each to ensure that the mixture is smooth

Over the cookies that have cooled, pour the melted milk chocolate

Before serving, let the chocolate drizzle set
