Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup salted butter (not too soft (1 and 1/2 stick))
1 & 1/2 cups dark brown sugar (packed)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 & 1/4 cup quick oats
1 cup dried tart cherries (coarsely chopped)
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate (3/4 cup, chopped)
1 cup pecans (toasted and chopped)
dark chocolate chips (to top cookies)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Let your butter sit out of the fridge for like 10-15 minutes.
  • In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat together the butter and brown sugar until lighter and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract. Beat well.
  • Add 1 cup of flour to the bowl but don't mix it in. Use a small spoon to stir the baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the flour. Then use the spoon or mixer to mix in the flour until it is not quite combined.
  • Add the old fashioned oats, quick oats, cherries*, chocolate, and chopped pecans.
  • Gently fold in the mix ins. Make sure all the flour streaks are gone. Don't over mix, once it comes together you're good to go.
  • Fill a 1/4 cup measuring cup with dough. Shape the dough into balls and place them on the cookie sheet. You can only fit about 8 cookies per sheet. Make sure there are about 2 inches in between the cookies.
  • Bake at 350 for about 12-13 minutes, or until the edges are set. There can be a little bit of shine in the center of the cookie, but it shouldn't look completely shiny.
  • Top immediately with dark chocolate chips.
  • Let the cookies cool on the rack for about 5 minutes, then remove them to a cooling rack.

Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup dried tart cherries
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted

Steps:

  • Position racks in center and top third of oven and preheat to 325°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Sift flour, baking soda and salt into medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat butter, sugar and brown sugar in large bowl until well blended. Mix in egg and both extracts. Beat in flour mixture. Mix in oats, then chocolate chips, cherries and almonds.
  • Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake cookies 12 minutes. Switch and rotate baking sheets. Bake cookies until golden, about 6 minutes longer. Cool cookies on baking sheets (cookies will firm as they cool). (Can be prepared 1 week ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.)

Tips:

  • Use good quality dark chocolate: Aim for at least 70% cocoa content for a rich and intense chocolate flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can lead to tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough helps to firm it up and makes it easier to handle. This also helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop helps to ensure that all of the cookies are the same size and shape. This also helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
  • Let the cookies cool completely: Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying them. This helps to prevent the cookies from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Dark chocolate cherry oatmeal cookies are a delicious and satisfying treat. They are perfect for a snack, dessert, or even breakfast. With their combination of rich chocolate, tart cherries, and chewy oats, these cookies are sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give these dark chocolate cherry oatmeal cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
