Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.75 cup dark chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup dried cherries, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix until fully combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Step 6
Stir in the rolled oats, dark chocolate chips, and chopped dried cherries. Ensure the mix-ins are evenly distributed.
Step 7
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look slightly soft.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve the cookies fresh or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
