Directions:
Mix flour and salt, set aside.
Cream 1 cup butter with 1/2 c powdered sugar, mix in vanilla.
Add flour and salt mixture and mix until it starts forming larger clumps.
Mix in cherries and chocolate chips.
Fort the dough into a log and press it well or it will crumble when you slice the cookies (the log should be about 2 inches thick). Wrap it in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

Preheat the over to 325 and line baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cut the log into 1/4 or 1/3 inch thick slices and place them onto baking sheet with one inch of spacing in between.

Bake the cookies 10-15 minutes- until they just start to turn lightly golden brown on top.

Let them cool for 5 minutes on a baking sheet.
