Oatmeal Cherry Walnut Cookies
"Old-fashioned caramelized sugar oatmeal cookies, updated with Dried [censored]
Cherries and crunchy walnuts. Yumm!"
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup butter flavoured shortening
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups quick cooking oats
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup dried cherries
Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C). In a mixer bowl, combine the white sugar,
brown sugar and shortening. Beat until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at
a time mixing well after each one. Beat mixture until well combined. Mix in
the milk, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and vanilla to the egg
mixture. Beat for one minute. Add the flour and mix until incorporated. Add
the walnuts and mix again. Add the oats one cup at a time, mixing well after
each addition. Stir in the dried [censored] cherries and mix just until they are
distributed evenly. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of batter about 2 inches
apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Do not shape them, they will spread evenly
during the baking process. Bake at 350 F (175 C) for 12 to 13 minutes. The
tops of the cookies should just turn a light golden brown. Remove the cookies
from the oven and let sit on the sheets for about 5 minutes before moving the
cookies to cooling racks. Let cookies cool to room temperature than place in
airtight containers for storage.
