Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Let your butter sit out of the fridge for like 10-15 minutes.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat together the butter and brown sugar until lighter and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract. Beat well.
- Add 1 cup of flour to the bowl but don't mix it in. Use a small spoon to stir the baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the flour. Then use the spoon or mixer to mix in the flour until it is not quite combined.
- Add the old fashioned oats, quick oats, cherries*, chocolate, and chopped pecans.
- Gently fold in the mix ins. Make sure all the flour streaks are gone. Don't over mix, once it comes together you're good to go.
- Fill a 1/4 cup measuring cup with dough. Shape the dough into balls and place them on the cookie sheet. You can only fit about 8 cookies per sheet. Make sure there are about 2 inches in between the cookies.
- Bake at 350 for about 12-13 minutes, or until the edges are set. There can be a little bit of shine in the center of the cookie, but it shouldn't look completely shiny.
- Top immediately with dark chocolate chips.
- Let the cookies cool on the rack for about 5 minutes, then remove them to a cooling rack.

Tips:
- Use good-quality dark chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the cookies will taste. Look for a dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly. Bake them just until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them to keep their shape and texture.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 3 days.
- Enjoy the cookies! They are a delicious and satisfying snack or dessert.

Dark chocolate cherry oatmeal cookies are a classic cookie recipe that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
