1 cup butter, softened to room temperature
1 packed cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 eggs
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon cinnamon

Ingredients
steps
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream butter and sugars together until fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk to combine eggs and vanilla. Resume mixing butter mixture and slowly add eggs, pausing to scrape sides of bowl.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and spices. Add to wet ingredients and mix to combine, scraping bowl. Use a spatula to stir in oats followed by cherries, hazelnuts, chocolate, candy ginger, and coconut flakes. Stir until just mixed. Transfer dough to refrigerator and chill for at least 45 minutes.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop to portion out balls of cookie dough evenly onto tray. Gently tap the tops to flatten but don’t press down. Sprinkle 3 to 4 grains of maldon salt on top of the cookie dough.
- Bake for 8 minutes, turn tray, then bake for 6 to 8 more minutes—until golden on the edges but still slightly soft in the middle.
