Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).

Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour, ground almonds, salt, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Gently fold in the chopped dried cherries until evenly distributed.

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto prepared baking sheets about two inches apart.

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool completely before serving.
