1 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup snipped dried red cherries (6 ounces)
1. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium
to high speed for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking
powder, cinnamon, salt and baking soda. Beat until combined, scraping
sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined.
Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in the
remaining flour. Stir in oats and dried cherries.
2. Drop the dough by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart onto ungreased
cookie sheets. Bake in a 350 degree F. oven about 12 minutes or until
the edges are lightly browned. Cool on cookie sheets for 1 minute.
Transfer to wire racks and let cool. Makes about 60 cookies.
