Since I didn't get to finish up the October cookie submissions....like I'd planned to.......I decided I'd just put them in when I can. Cookie #14 is a tasty and chewy oatmeal cookie. I thought I'd better grab a photo of them before they are all gone. You can double the batch if you'd like.....which might not be a bad idea if you're doing cookie exchange. A double batch makes about 100 cookies. They are also a nice nut free option for sending into a nut free school. I really liked the flavour combination of the dried Montmorency cherries and the chocolate chips......and even though oatmeal cookies are not my favourite.....I actually liked these for their flavour and chewy texture.
Cherry Chip Oatmeal Cookies
1 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup butter, softened
2 eggs, large
2 tsp vanilla
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup dried tart cherries
1 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 250 F. In small bowl, whisk together flour, soda, and salt and set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars. Beat in eggs one at a time and then add in vanilla and mix in. Stir in flour mixture. Stir in oats, dried cherries, and chocolate chips. Drop dough by rounded spoonful, 2 inches apart on non stick cookie sheet. Bake until tops are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Let sit a few moments on cookie sheet before transferring to wire rack to cool.
