- 355 ml granulated sugar
- 9.86 ml vanilla extract

Prepare
- 414 ml unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Step 2.
In a large bowl, sift together 3½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 2 teaspoons baking soda. Set aside.
-
Step 3.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream 1¾ cups (3½ sticks) unsalted butter at room temperature, 1¾ cups packed dark brown sugar, and 1½ cups granulated sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
-
Step 4.
Add 2 large eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition. Add 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and mix until combined.
-
Step 5.
Reduce the mixer speed to low. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
-
Step 6.
Transfer the dough to a large bowl. Using your hands, mix in 4 cups old-fashioned oats, 2 cups dried sour cherries, 2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips, and 1 (10-ounce) bag Skor toffee bits (or 1 (8-ounce) bag Heath Bits) until well combined.
-
Step 7.
Using a 3-ounce scoop, scoop the dough and place 6 cookies per prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Gently press down each cookie to flatten slightly. You will need to bake in batches; repeat with remaining dough.
-
Step 8.
Bake until the cookies are golden brown around the edges, 14 to 16 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through baking.
-
Step 9.
Using a spatula, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
