The addition of dried cherries instead of raisins puts a tart twist on the classic oatmeal-raisin cookie. If you happen to have some on hand, use almond extract instead of vanilla extract for an even nuttier flavor. Make one batch of these to serve a crowd; this recipe makes 44 cookies, it takes under an hour to make 'em all, and you probably already have most of the ingredients in your pantry. Add a little bit of ground nutmeg or ground cloves to really put these cookies over the top.
