Ingredients




1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup light-brown sugar
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup dried cherries
1 cup bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 cup toffee pieces, (5½ ounces)

Preparation

1 Heat oven to 350° F. Sift together flour and baking soda, and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter, sugars, cinnamon and salt on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl once or twice during mixing. Add egg, and 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. Add oatmeal, cherries, chocolate, and toffee pieces; mix to combine. 3 Divide dough into three equal portions, and roll into logs using plastic wrap, approximately 1½ inches in diameter. To bake, cut logs into ¾ inch pieces. Bake on parchment lined baking sheets, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and transfer to a baking rack to cool.
