How to Make Cherry Chocolate Chunk Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes) using an electric mixer.
  4. Beat in the egg, then stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the rolled oats, chopped dried cherries, chocolate chunks, and toffee bits until evenly distributed.
  7. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Rotate the baking sheets halfway through baking for even browning.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
