Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3/4 cups (228g) all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup (168g) unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup (168g) packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup (104g) sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups (175g) uncooked quick cook oats
1 1/2 cups (229g) dried cherries
1 cup (169g) semi sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
  • 2. Cream the butter and sugars together in a large mixer bowl on medium speed until light in color and fluffy. You should be able to see the change in color and texture happen and know it's ready.
  • . Add the eggs one at a time and mix until well combined after each.
  • . Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
  • . Add the dry ingredients and mix until the dough is just combined. Do not over mix. Once it's well combined, use a rubber spatula to help it come together to form a more cohesive ball. 6.
  • Stir in the oats, chocolate chips and dried cherries. 7.
  • Create 2 tablespoon sized balls of cookie dough until all the cookie dough has been used. 8.
  • Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 2-3 hours or overnight. I think they are best if refrigerated overnight, but they are still very good if refrigerated for 2-3 hours. 9.
  • When ready to bake the cookies, remove the cookie dough from the fridge and let it sit for about an hour to come closer to room temperature. 10
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. 11.
  • ake cookies for 7-9 minutes. Remove just as the edges begin to turn golden. Don't over bake. The cookies will be a little puffy when you take them out of the oven but will fall a bit as they cool. For tips and troubleshooting help, check out the post above. 12. Re
  • ove cookies from the oven and allow to cool on baking sheets for 4-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

DRIED CHERRY AND WHITE CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COOKIES



Dried Cherry and White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies image

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.

Time 37m

Yield 36-48 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups quick-cooking oats (not instant)
2 cups dried cherries
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

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.).

CHOCOLATE-CHUNK OATMEAL COOKIES WITH PECANS AND DRIED CHERRIES



Chocolate-Chunk Oatmeal Cookies With Pecans and Dried Cherries image

I received this an email from ATK. I substituted dried cranraisins for the dried cherries, semi-sweet chocolate chips for bittersweet chocolate and used my hand mixer. Dried cranberries may also be used instead of the cherries. Quick oats may be used instead but will yield a cookie with slightly less chewiness. These cookies will keep for 4 to 5 days stored in airtight container or zipper-lock bag, but they will lose their crisp exterior and become uniformly chewy after a day or so. I only baked one cookie tray at a time. These were very good. I froze them in individual bags for a sweet treat.

Time 1h

Yield 16 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 1/4 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup toasted pecans, chopped
1 cup dried tart cherry, chopped coarse (I used cranraisins)
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped into the size of chocolate chips (I used semi sweet chocolate chips)
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, but still cool
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • I baked the cookies only one tray at a time so I cannot vouch for the method of baking two at a time. But if you would like to bake two trays at a time adjust oven racks to upper and lower middle positions.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line 2 large (18 x 12) baking sheets with parchment paper. If you do not have this size, you will need to use 3.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in medium bowl.
  • In second medium bowl, stir together, oats, pecans, cherries and chocolate.
  • In a standing mixer fitted with flat beater, beat butter and sugar at medium speed until no sugar lumps remain, about 1 minute.
  • Scrape down sides of bowl with rubber spatula; add egg and vanilla and beat on medium-low speed until fully incorporated, about 30 seconds.
  • Scrape down bowl; with mixer running at low speed, add flour mixture; mix until just combined, about 30 seconds.
  • With mixer still running on low, gradually add oat/nut mixture; mix until just incorporated.
  • Give dough final stir with rubber spatula to ensure that no flour pockets remain and ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Divide dough evenly into 16 portions; about 1/4 cup each.
  • Roll between palms into balls about 2 inches in diameter; stagger 8 balls on each baking sheet, spacing about 2 1/2 inches apart.
  • Using hands, gently press each dough ball into 1 inch thickness. Bake both sheets 12 minutes, rotate them front to back and top to bottom, then continue to bake until cookies are medium brown and edges have begun to set but centers are still soft (cookies will seem underdone and will appear raw, wet and shiny in cracks), 8 to 10 minutes longer. (I baked each cookie tray individually for 18 minutes). Do Not Over Bake.
  • Cool cookies on baking sheets on wire rack 5 minutes; using wide metal spatual, transfer cookies to wire rack and cool to room tempature.

OATMEAL AND DRIED CHERRY COOKIES

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes about 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup dark-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 cups dried sour cherries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper;set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda and baking powder; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or using a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla, and beat to incorporate. Add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating on low speed to combine. Stir in the oats and dried cherries.
  • Using a 2-ounce scoop, drop the dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 6 inches between cookies. Bake until edges are just turning brown, about 20 minutes. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. Use real butter, pure vanilla extract, and high-quality chocolate chips.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking chocolate chip oatmeal cookies is 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overbake the cookies: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
