A hearty, flavorful oatmeal cookie always hits the spot, but this version takes it to the next level. Oatmeal cherry cookies feature oats, dried cherries and chocolate chips for the perfect combination of flavors with notes of molasses, brown sugar and fruit.<\/p>\n
As with most drop cookies, making a batch of these impressive cookies<\/a> is a cinch. Start by creaming the butter and sugars, then mix in the egg and your favorite vanilla extract<\/a>. Finish the dough with the dry ingredients, dried cherries and chocolate chips. You’ll have soft, chewy cookies packed with mix-ins on the table in just over 30 minutes. They’re perfect for potlucks, bake sales or filling up the cookie jar<\/a> whenever a craving strikes.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. In a small bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Don’t rush creaming butter and sugars<\/a>. This step can take about five minutes, as the creaming process helps aerate the butter for proper cookie texture.<\/p>\n In a medium bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking soda and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in the dried cherries and chocolate chips.<\/p>\n Drop the dough by scant 1\/4 cupfuls, placing them 3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.<\/p>\n Bake the cookies for 14 to 16 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for one minute before removing the cookies from the baking sheets to wire racks. Let cool completely.<\/p>\n Cherry oatmeal cookies should be stored in an airtight container, cookie jar or zip-top plastic bag to keep them fresh. Storing them in a closed container or bag will help maintain their flavor and chewy texture.<\/p>\n Stored at room temperature, oatmeal cherry chocolate cookies will last for up to one week.<\/p>\n It’s easy to freeze cookies<\/a>. That way, you always have a snack on hand. Place oat and cherry cookies in a freezer bag or airtight container and freeze them for up to three months. Let the cookies thaw at room temperature until soft.<\/p>\n Brown sugar<\/a> and oats help produce a soft and chewy cookie. It’s also important to pay attention to baking times. Bake the cookie dough until the edges just begin to brown, with the centers still soft. When you remove the baking sheet from the oven, the residual heat will help finish baking the centers as the cookies rest for one minute.<\/p>\n Oatmeal cherry cookie dough is an excellent make-ahead option. Prep the dough and store it in the fridge for up to five days before baking the cookies. You could also make the dough and store it in the freezer before baking the cookies. Form the dough into balls or keep it as one larger disk. Place the dough in an airtight container or freezer bag and store it for two months. Just be sure to thaw it in the fridge until softened before baking.<\/p>\n While you can certainly scoop and form cookie dough from a bowl by hand, a few cookie-baking tools<\/a> can make it easier. Use a cookie dough scoop or weigh the cookie dough balls on a kitchen scale<\/a> to ensure all cookies are uniformly the same size.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" These oatmeal
