Chewy Oatmeal Cherry Toffee Crisps

Basically the same base as Tad’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies but loaded with what I call “floaties.” Chocolate chips, toffee chips, oatmeal, dried cherries. Rather than roll, refrigerate and cut, I just scooped them with a 2 tablespoon scooper. Because they are so loaded, they are a challenge to stir and scoop but you can do it!
