Yields: About 2 dozen 3-inch cookies
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light-brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups oatmeal
1 cup dried cherries
1 cup bittersweet chocolate (4 1/2 ounces), coarsely chopped
1 cup toffee pieces (5 1/2 ounces)
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Sift together the flour and baking soda, and set aside. In an electric mixer, using the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl once or twice during mixing. Add the egg; mix on high speed to combine. Add vanilla extract; mix to combine. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
2. Add the sifted flour a bit at a time on a low speed until well combined. On low speed, add the oatmeal, cherries, chocolate, and toffee pieces; mix to combine.
3. Divide the dough into three equal portions, and roll into logs using plastic wrap, approximately 1 1/2-inches in diameter. To bake, cut logs into 3/4-inch pieces. Bake on parchment-lined baking sheets, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, and transfer to a baking rack to cool.
