Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Stir in the light brown sugar and granulated sugar into the saucepan with the melted butter until well combined.
Mix in the vanilla extract and the egg, whisking until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until no streaks of flour remain.
Fold in the rolled oats and the chopped dried tart cherries until evenly distributed.
Using a teaspoon or a small cookie scoop, drop small mounds of dough (about 1 inch apart) onto the prepared baking sheets, as the cookies will spread while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown and lacy.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
