Preheat oven to 350. Line 2 baking sheets with Parchment paper. Plump dried cherries by covering with boiling water and let stand a couple of minutes. Drain well and toss with cherry liqueur.

Cream butter with sugars. Blend in egg, vanilla and almond extract. Fold in salt, baking soda and flour. Fold in cherries, chocolates and nuts. Batter should be soft.

Drop in generous Tablespoon onto baking sheet, leaving space between dollops of batter.

Bake until lightly browned around edges, 12-14 min. Makes about 2 1/2 dozen heavenly cookies.
