Notes
*Keep the cherries in the freezer until it's time to use them. You don't want them to defrost and get extra moisture into the cookie dough. If you have extra dough that didn't fit on the baking sheet, keep it in the freezer until you can bake it off!
**Try not to overmix the dough, it can mash up the cherries. I like to give it one or two good mixes, then I leave it!
