Many have tried these tasty cookies and almost everyone has named it their favorite cookie. The bittersweet chocolate and dried cherries (or cherry craisens like I use) compliment the sweet toffee and sugar to create the perfect balance of sweet, tart and bitter.

1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted ****er, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar

Step 12:

After baking a few batches I believe that they are perfect when the cookies look almost done. It takes from 10-12 minutes and in our current oven it's 12 minutes. The cookies continue to brown a bit once they cool.

Once you remove them from the oven, immediately transfer to a cooling rack.

All that's left to do is enjoy!
