Chocolate and cherries make these cookies sinfully rich. Make the cookie dough ahead of time, freeze it and then bake anytime for that fresh-out-of-the-oven taste.

Ingredients

All-purpose flour

¾ cup(s)

Unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tbsp(s)

Baking soda

1 tsp(s)

Ground cinnamon

¼ tsp(s)

Ground nutmeg

¼ tsp(s)

Table salt

½ tsp(s)

Salted butter

¾ oz, at room temperature

Sugar

½ cup(s), at room temperature

Packed light brown sugar

¾ cup(s)

Raw egg

2 large

Uncooked oatmeal

2½ cup(s)

Dried cherries

½ cup(s)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  2. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt together in a small bowl; set aside.
  3. Place room temperature butter into bowl of a mixer and mix with a paddle attachment until smooth, or beat with an electric mixer. Slowly pour granulated sugar in an even stream into butter and mix on high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Pour in brown sugar, mix until incorporated and then scrape mixture down from sides of bowl.
  4. Slowly beat in each egg one at a time until incorporated. Slowly beat in flour mixture until incorporated.
  5. Scrape mixture down from sides of bowl and stir in oatmeal and then dried cherries. (Note: Freeze dough at this point or continue to step 6 for baking.)
  6. Scoop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough onto a nonstick sheet pan, a pan lined with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat about 1 1/2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are set. Cool completely. Either serve cookies or stack between sheets of waxed paper in an air-tight container and freeze for up to two weeks before serving. Yields about 1 cookie per serving.
