Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This guarantees that the cookies will bake evenly.
2. Prepare Baking Sheets: Line your baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
4. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
5. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the large eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
7. Fold in Cherries and Nuts: Gently fold in the chopped maraschino cherries and, if using, the chopped nuts. Ascertain they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

9. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
10. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy your festive Maraschino Cherry Christmas Cookies with family and friends!
