Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3 1/2 to 4 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour bleached flour toughens baked goods
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 tsp. hot water
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup coconut
  • 6 oz. dried cherries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Dissolve baking soda in hot water.
  • Set aside.
  • Cream together the butter, white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, salt and baking soda mixture with an electric mixer.

Notes

NOTE: I accidentally over-softened the butter so I ended up using extra flour to compensate. I recommend using about 3 1/2 cups of flour normally.
