I have been looking for this recipe for quite a while and was thrilled when an old friend sent it to me in the mail. I think these should be called the best chewy cherry, chocolate chip, oatmeal, toffee cookies...but that's a little too long, so I'll stick with the original name. I just pulled a batch from the oven an hour ago and they are awesome!
1 1/2 cups flour 1 tsp baking soda 1 cup unsalted butter, room temp 3/4 cup sugar 3/4 cup brown sugar 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups oatmeal 1 cup dried cherries 1 cup bittersweet chocolate (I cheated here and used chocolate chips, bittersweet would probably be even better)coarsely chopped 1 cup toffee bits
heat oven to 350 Sift together the flour, and baking soda, set aside. Cream butter and sugars together 2 minutes, till fluffy.Add egg and beat on high speed till combined. Add vanilla, mix to combine. Add the sifted flour gradually until well combined. On low speed, add the oatmeal, cherries, chocolate, and toffee. Mix to combine.
Divide dough into 3 parts. Using plastic wrap roll each into a log about 1 1/2" across. Cut each log into 8 pieces and place on cookie sheet lined with parchment. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. I cooled them on the cookie sheet for 20 minutes before sliding them off. They are very soft and it would be hard to get them off right out of the oven. Enjoy!!!
