Combine softened butter, firmly packed brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl, then beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Stir in oats, dried cherries, and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
