Ingredients

• 1 c butter, softened
• 1 c dark brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/4 c flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3 c quick oats
• 1 c dried sour cherries
• 1 c walnuts, chopped
• 1 1/2 c water
• 1 tsp vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350*.

Pour water over a bowl of the dried cherries and set aside until ready to use.

Take half of the oats and pulse in a food processor (it will look like flour).

Using mixer, whip butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Slowly add dry mix to butter mixture. Add the oat flour from food processor. Strain cherries, discard water and stir into mix along with remaining oats and walnuts. Place heaping tablespoons of dough on prepared baking sheet 2-3 inches apart. Bake cookies for 12-15 minutes or until golden but still slightly soft. After cooling in the pan for 2-3 minutes transfer to cooling rack.
