Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease two baking sheets or line them with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.

Fold in the candied cherries, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for slight spreading.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops appear set.

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
