Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
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.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Stir in the rolled oats, dark chocolate chips, and chopped dried cherries. Ensure the mix-ins are evenly distributed.
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.
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.
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.
Serve the cookies fresh or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
