Oatmeal Cherry Cookies

Dear Reader-

As I bit into this cookie, I had a bit of a silly revelation… It did not occur to me until that moment that this recipe was pretty much a yummy Oatmeal Raisin cookie, with cherries instead of raisins…

Then my mind filled with all kinds of yummy substitutions like cranberries and dried blueberries…

We found this recipe in Gooseberry Patch’s brand new- not yet in stores- cookbook, The Harvest Table…

By the way, have y’all entered the giveaway yet?!

Start out with 1 Cup of Butter in your mixing bowl.

Add 1/2 Cup Sugar

And 1 Cup of Brown Sugar. Cream the sugars and butter together.

Then add 2 Eggs…

And 1 t Vanilla

In a separate bowl, mix up your dry ingredients:

3/4 Cup White Whole Wheat Flour

3/4 Cup All Purpose Flour

1 t Baking Soda

1 t Cinnamon… I am in LOVE with Penzey’s Cinnamon… Just sayin’

1 t Salt

Mix it up and gradually add it to your butter and sugar.

Then mix in a bag of Dried Cherries

And 3 Cups of Long Cooking Oats

Take batter and drop rounded Tablespoonfuls on a lined cookie sheet.
