Ingredients
- 1.5 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
- 3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 8 tablespoons of unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dried cherries
- 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
Process
Preheat oven to 350° F and lightly grease a baking sheet. Mix oats, flour, cinnamon, and baking soda in a bowl. In a separate bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients, then the walnuts and cherries.
Drop the batter by rounded spoonfuls onto the baking sheet 2 inches apart. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit, and then transfer on to wire racks to cool.
*Hint: keep cookies fresh by storing them in a container with pieces of bread, like the bread heel, which help absorb moisture.
