Ingredients

1 cup butter (unsalted)

1 cup light brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups rolled oats

1 bag dark chocolate chips

1 1/2 cups dried cherries

Preparation

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease cookie sheets.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar until smooth.
  3. Stir in the egg and vanilla.
  4. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, stir into the creamed mixture.
  5. Finally, stir in the rolled oats, chocolate chips and cherries.
  6. Drop by spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets. It’s best to let the clumps of cookie dough have a little height. The cookies stay lighter that way.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from baking sheets to cool on wire racks.
  8. Enjoy!
