I begin preparing the ingredients by chopping the chocolate with a knife.

Sift the flour and baking soda and set aside. Using the paddle attachment on your electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar.

On medium-high speed it takes 2-3 minutes to get the mixture light and fluffy. Scrape the bowl once or twice during mixing. Add the egg and mix on high speed to combine.

Add the vanilla extract:

Scrape the sides of the bowl. Add the sifted flour mixture a bit at a time on low speed until well combined.

Add the Oatmeal, cherries, toffee and chocolate.

Divide the dough into 3 portions and roll into ~1 1/2 inch-diameter logs using parchment paper.

Ready for rolling:

Put your logs into the refrigerator for an hour or so.

Remove your logs from the icebox and cut it into ~3/4 inch pieces.

Place dough on parchment paper lined baking sheets.

After baking a few batches I believe that they are perfect when the cookies look almost done. It takes from 10-12 minutes and in our current oven it's 12 minutes. The cookies continue to brown a bit once they cool. Once you remove them from the oven, immediately transfer to a cooling rack. All that's left to do is enjoy!
