Recipe Card

ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 8 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup dried cherries
  • 1 cup chopped toasted walnuts
  • 12 oz bittersweet chocolate chips
  • Flakey sea salt, for sprinkling

Method

  • Step 1

    In a medium bowl, mix together flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

  • Step 2

    In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

  • Step 3

    Add eggs and vanilla and beat on high speed until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat again as needed to combine.

  • Step 4

    Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix on low until combined. With the mixer running on low speed, add in the chocolate chips, cherries and walnuts.

  • Step 5

    Use a large cookie scoop to scoop cookie dough, about 3 tbsp of dough per cookie, onto a baking tray. Cover and chill scooped dough for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator (and up to 4 days).

  • Step 6

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking trays with parchment paper. Place the cookies at least four inches apart on the baking trays. Bake for 13-14 minutes or until lightly browned on the sides.

  • Step 7

    Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. While cookies are still warm, sprinkle lightly with flakey sea salt.
