Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in small bowl and set aside.

Mix butter in electric mixer until smooth. Slowly pour granulated sugar in an even stream into butter and mix on high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Pour in brown sugar and mix until incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl.

Slowly beat in each egg one at a time until incorporated. Slowly beat in flour mixture until incorporated. Scrape down mixture and stir in oatmeal and dried cherries. Note: Dough can be frozen at this point.

Scoop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough on non-stick baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
