Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
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 on low speed until just combined.
With a spatula, fold in the rolled oats, toffee bits, and dried cherries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a medium cookie scoop or a spoon, drop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
