To a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the butter and both the white and brown sugar. Beat until creamed, about 3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla to the dough and mix until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix briefly again until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the baking powder, baking soda, salt, cornflour, and flour. Add the flour mixture to the cookie dough batter and mix again until just combined, forming a homogeneous dough.
Add the milk chocolate chips, chopped dark chocolate, and chopped cherries to the cookie dough. Mix until combined with your hands or a wooden spoon.
Portion the dough using a cookie scoop into 12 cookie dough balls. Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill them in the fridge for 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (350°F) and line two large baking trays with parchment paper. Place six cookies onto each baking tray.
Bake cookies on the prepared baking sheets in a preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are crisp and the cookies are a light golden brown and have spread slightly. Bake six cookies at a time. Remove the cookies from the oven, sprinkle them with a bit of extra sea salt, and allow them to cool on a wire rack. Serve and enjoy!

Use room temperature butter and sugar for the best results.
To ensure your oven is set correctly, bake one cookie at first and see how it comes out. Make adjustments to temperature and timing if needed.
Chilling the dough helps the cookies bake thick and chunky.
