These thin, chewy cookies use almond flour as their base. They are gluten free, but they’re great in their own right, and they stay moist for a long time which makes them a good make-ahead cookie. After baking, they can be frozen for a month or kept in the fridge for a week.

Using a wooden spoon, stir the flour mixture into the sugar mixture in batches until well combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and the dried cherries until thoroughly combined. Cover the batter with plastic wrap and refrigerate least 1 hour if you are in a rush or overnight for best results.
