Next, place the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl and mix together gently with a wooden spoon.
In a separate, large bowl, combine the sugar, cream cheese, and melted butter until smooth. (If you have a stand mixer, this is the perfect place to use it. I add these wet ingredients to the mixer bowl, turn the mixer on a low speed, and just keep it running while I add the rest of ingredients. It makes the dough SUPER quick and easy to throw together.)
Next, add the oil to the large bowl with your wet ingredients and mix until combined.
Now, add the egg to the wet ingredients and continue to mix until it’s completely incorporated.
Next, add your cherry juice, almond extract, and chopped cherries.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until well combined and a soft dough forms.
