Welch's Deluxe Cherry Cookies




Another fine recipe brought to me by my Sunday Paper Coupon section!!!

1/2 c. butter, slightly softened
2/3 c. packed light brown sugar
1/3 c. granulated sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 1/2 t vanilla
1 1/4 c. all-pupose flour
1 t. baking powder
1 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. salt
1 3/4 c. rolled oats (old fashioned oats)
5.5 oz Dried Cherries, chopped.

Preheat oven to 375

Using an electric mixer heat the butter until creamy, about 1 minute. Gradually add sugars and beat until well combined.

Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix thoroughly on low speed.

In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. With the mixer on low speed gradually add dry ingredients. Do not over mix. Add the oats and chopped dried cherries.

Form dough into 1 1/2 inch balls and bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 9-11 minutes or until bottoms are Golden brown. Cool on cookie sheets for 2 minutes and then remove to a wire rack.

If you are a fan of Oatmeal Raisen cookies I think these will make your mouth water.
