I took this recipe to a cookie exchange after seeing it on a Martha Stewart show. It was the hit of the exchange. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 lb unsalted butter, room temperature |
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar |
3/4 cup granulated sugar |
1 large egg |
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract |
1 1/2 cups oats |
1 cup dried cherries |
4 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped |
1 cup toffee pieces |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees;. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. In a large bowl, sift together flour and baking soda.
2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and both sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice during mixing. Add the egg; mix on high speed to combine. Add the vanilla; mix to combine. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
3. Add flour mixture to egg mixture, and mix on low speed until well combined. Add the oats, cherries, chocolate, and toffee pieces; mix to combine after each addition.
4. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of dough onto a lined baking sheet. Repeat, spacing 2 inches apart.
5. Bake cookies until golden brown, 14 to 16 minutes, rotating baking sheet halfway through. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container up to 2 days.
