Oatmeal Cherry Crispies image

I love dried cherries and keep my eyes open for opportunities to use them. This is a wonderful recipe with the chew from oats and cherries, a crunch from the crispy rice and nuts, moistness from the coconut. Its all around delicious. Almost like eating a granola cookie.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 c butter, 2 cubes
1/2 c white sugar
1/2 c brown sugar
1 egg
1 c flour, all purpose
1 c whole wheat pastry flour or whole wheat (sifted for bran)
1 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp baking sode
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c oats, old fashioned
1/2 c crispy rice cereal
1/2 c flaked coconut
1/4 c toasted, chopped nuts
1 c dried cherries

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Soak the dried cherries in just enough very hot water to cover and soak for 5 minutes. Then drain and blot dry. Cream together the butter and sugars until well mixed. Add the egg and mix.
  • 2. In another bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. If using the regular whole wheat, either white or traditional, I like to sift it a bit with a mesh strainer and take out a little of the bran. But you dont have to do this. Whisk the flours, tartar, soda, salt. Mix in with the butter/sugar mixture.
  • 3. When well combined, stir in the oats, crispy cereal, coconut and nuts with a spoon. Add the cherries. Scoop out little balls of dough, perhaps with a cookie scoop or spoon onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake about 15 minutes, rotating pan after 8 minutes and keeping an eye. When they start turning golden, remove from oven. The first batch always takes a few minutes more than the following, due to hotter oven and hot pans. These turn out crispy, nutty, sweet and a bit chewy. Yum!

I thought these crispies were just okay. They were a little dry and the flavor was bland. I wouldn't make them again.

These crispies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These crispies were a bit too crispy for my liking. I think I would bake them for a shorter amount of time next time.
