Description

These chocolate chunk cherry pecan oatmeal cookies are loaded with flavor thanks to rich chocolate chunks, sweet-tart dried cherries, and toasty pecans. Recipe makes 26 cookies.


Ingredients

Cookies

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chunks
  • 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Topping

  • Semisweet chocolate chunks
  • Flaky salt

Instructions

  1. Whisk together flour, oats, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  2. Beat butter and sugars in a large mixer bowl at medium speed until creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla until combined. Reduce speed to low and gradually add flour mixture; beat just until incorporated. Fold in chocolate chunks, coconut, cherries, and pecans. Cover dough and chill in the refrigerator for one hour.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Form 1 1/2-inch balls of dough and place two inches apart on prepared baking sheets; flatten mounds slightly and top cookies with chocolate chunks, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes, rotating pans halfway through, until edges are set. Cool for 5 minutes on baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack. Sprinkle cookies with flaky sea salt and let cool completely.

Notes

Chocolate tip: If you can’t find chocolate chunks at your grocery store, use a 4-ounce semisweet chocolate bar chopped into chunks.
