How to Make Chocolate Cherry And Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Lightly spoon flour into a measuring cup, then level with a knife.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups rolled oats, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 large eggs until well combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients (from step 3) to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup pitted cherries until evenly distributed.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
