DRIED CHERRY AND WHITE CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COOKIES
I adapted this recipe from Martha Stewart after making a mistake in the original recipe and finding the consensus was my "mistake" version was better than the original. I tweaked it a little, came up with these, and they are always a hit. They are great even with just the dried cherries as well, and are good with or without the walnuts. Feel free to add more or less of the white chocolate and walnuts (if using) according to your taste. The recipe halves (or doubles, etc.) easily. I also find these are better made in drier weather, as you get a light, slightly crispy outside, which humidity seems to soften. However, they still taste great. Note the number of servings changes depending on the size of the cookies.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 and line cookie sheets with parchment paper. The parchment paper works better as the cookies seem to bake more evenly, but if necessary, you can use non-stick spray on the pans instead.
- If the dried cherries are large, cut them in half.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder; set aside.
- Using an electric mixer on high speed, cream the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until well-mixed, about 15-30 seconds.
- Add in the flour mixture, and beat at low speed until combined.
- At low speed, mix in the oats.
- Add the dried cherries and white chocolate (and walnuts, if using) at low speed, until just combined and mixed through.
- Drop by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets about 2 1/2 inches apart.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until very lightly browned. You don't want these too dark or overcooked so they come out a bit chewy.
- Leave on the sheet for a minute to give the cookies a chance to set, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
- You can make them smaller, or, as in the original recipe, drop by 2 oz. cookie scoops to make large cookies. Adjust the baking time accordingly. (About 8-10 minutes for smaller, 20 minutes for large.).
DARK CHOCOLATE CHERRY OATMEAL COOKIES
Steps:
- 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!
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookies will be.
- Mash the bananas well. This will help to ensure that the cookies are smooth and evenly textured.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cookies to firm up.
