Oatmeal Dried Fruit Cookies image

These are the best oatmeal cookies I've ever had! Very buttery and very hearty. Any dried fruit works well such as cherries, raisins, cranberries, blueberries, or chopped apricots. For a really decadent treat, use chocolate chips and nuts instead of fruit.

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.

Categories     Drop Cookies

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.

Tips:

  • Use Old-Fashioned Oats: Old-fashioned oats provide a chewier texture compared to quick-cooking or instant oats.
  • Soften Butter and Brown Sugar: Softening the butter and brown sugar ensures they blend together easily, creating a smooth and creamy base for the cookies.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough allows the flavors to meld and makes it easier to handle, preventing the cookies from spreading too much.
  • Use Parchment Paper: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and for easy cleanup.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown, indicating that they are done. Overbaking can dry them out.
  • Add Ins: Feel free to experiment with different add-ins like nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit to customize the cookies to your taste.

Conclusion:

These oatmeal cookies with dried cherries are a delightful treat that combines the goodness of oats, dried cherries, and warm spices. The chewy texture and sweet-tart flavor of the cherries make them a perfect snack or dessert. With simple ingredients and easy-to-follow steps, these cookies are a great baking project for both experienced and beginner bakers. Whether you enjoy them warm from the oven or store them for later, these cookies are sure to satisfy your sweet cravings. So, preheat your oven and get ready to indulge in the deliciousness of homemade oatmeal cookies with dried cherries!
