Ingredients

2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled) 

2 teaspoons baking soda 

1/2 teaspoon fine salt 

2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature 

2/3 cup granulated sugar 

1 cup packed light-brown sugar 

2 large eggs 

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips 

1 cup dried tart cherries 

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

In a large bowl, using a mixer, beat butter and both sugars on high until pale and fluffy, 3 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Reduce speed to low, add flour mixture, and beat until combined. Stir in chocolate chips and cherries.

Press mixture into a 9-by-13-inch metal baking pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 28 to 30 minutes. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
