Oatmeal Cherry Toffee Cookies
Oatmeal Cherry Toffee Cookies have a unique and wonderful flavor. The combination of dried cherries and toffee offset one another in a chewy oatmeal texture, and the bright, tart cherries bring out the sweetness of the toffee.
Cooking Time10 min
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup oatmeal
- 1 cup dried cherries
- 1 cup bittersweet chocolate (4 1/2 ounces), coarsely chopped
- 1 cup toffee pieces (5 1/2 ounces)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Sift together the flour and baking soda and set aside.
- In an electric mixer, using a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars on medium high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl one or twice during mixing.

- Cut logs into 3/4-inch pieces and ake on parchment-lined baking sheets until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
