Cherry Almond Cookie

Cherry Almond Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie

The basic oatmeal cookie recipe I borrowed from:

http://dreamaboutfood.blogspot.com/2011/01/cherry-white-chocolate-chip-oatmeal.html

I then added, subtracted, and forgot a few ingredients.

This is the list of ingredients I ended up using:

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs

1/2 tsp almond extract
2 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup dried cherries

1 cup chopped almonds

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

For half of the cookies I just used almonds and cherries.  Then I decided to add the chocolate chips to the second half of the cookie dough.

With an electric mixer combine butter and brown sugar.  Then add eggs one at a time and mix in the almond extract.

Whisk together dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt. 

Then use mixer to blend together dry mixture with egg and sugar mixture.

Then with a spoon fold in the oats, cherries, chopped almonds, and chocolate chips.

Drop Tbps size spoonfuls on a greased cookie sheet.

Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.  Then cool on a wire rack.
