Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup rolled oats; 1/4 cup steel cut oats; 3 ounces bittersweet chocolate (chips or chopped up chunks); 3/4 cup pecans, toasted and chopped; 4 ounces dried sour cherries, chopped (can substitute cranberries); 1 1/4 cups flour; 3/4 teaspoon baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon baking soda; 3/4 teaspoon salt; 3/4 cup butter, softened; 1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar; 1 egg; 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Servings: persons

1 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup steel cut oats
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate (chips or chopped up chunks)
3/4 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
4 ounces dried sour cherries, chopped (can substitute cranberries)
1 1/4 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2
Mix all the chunky stuff up in a medium bowl. (That's the oats, chocolate, cherries, and pecans.).
3
Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in another medium bowl.
4
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar, till there aren't too many lumps. Then add the eggs and the vanilla and blend. Add the flour mixture bit by bit, blending as you go.
5
Then, fold in the chunky stuff. Don't worry, it'll look like there's more chunky stuff that cookie dough, but it will work.
6
Drop dough onto parchment lined cookie sheets, I like to portion out a bit less than 1/4 cup per cookie.
7
Bake for 10 minutes, but if you like them chewy, take them out when the edges look done, but the middles don't. They'll firm up as they cool.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
