Yield about 4 1/2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats
2 scant cups cake flour
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 1/2 sticks (10 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups dried cherries (8 ounces), chopped
1 cup unsalted macadamia nuts, chopped
1 cup white chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Pulse the oats in a food processor until some of it is fine and some of it is still very coarse. Dump the oats into a medium bowl and whisk in the flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, beat the butter and the sugars with a mixer at medium speed until very light, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well blended. Beat in the vanilla.
  • At low speed, add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Using a rubber spatula or a wooden spoon, fold in the cherries, nuts and white chocolate chips. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least 24 hours and up to 48 hours.
  • Position the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • Roll about 2 teaspoons of dough into balls and place them on the lined baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between them.
  • Bake until the cookies are golden brown around the edges and the centers are pale golden and still soft, about 9 minutes. Let cool on wire racks for about 10 minutes, then transfer the cookies with a spatula to the racks to cool completely (or for as long as you can wait!).
