From the Cherry Republic in MI. My sister, Meg, made a few adjustments to the recipe and we think it is one of the best cookies ever!
- 2 cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
- 1 ½ cups Flour
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter (softened)
- 1 cup Light Brown Sugar (firmly packed)
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 cups Coconut Flakes (unsweetened)
- 1/2 cup Montmorency Dried Cherries
- 1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup Pecans, toasted and chopped
- Preheat oven to 350° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Combine your oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium sized bowl. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat your softened butter and sugars until fluffy. Once fluffy, beat in your eggs and vanilla extract.
- Take your dry ingredients and mix them into your wet. Then stir in your coconut flakes, dried cherries, and dark chocolate chips and pecans. I like to refrigerate my cookie doughs for a few hours, when time permits.
- Drop dough by the spoonful onto your cookie sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes. Let cool five minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
