Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy.

Add Eggs & Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients.

Add Oats, Chocolate & Cherries: Stir in oats, chocolate chips, and dried cherries until evenly distributed.

Scoop Cookies: Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
