Oatmeal Cherry Chocolate Cookies

Oat Cookies

The recipe for these cookies is based off the back of a Quaker Oats box! They are definatly the chewy, rather than crunchy variety of cookie, but I'm not one to complain. The weather has turned colder the last few days so I thought a hint of mixed spice would be an apt seasonal addition.

Ingredients

250g unsalted butter, softened
1 cup dark brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 ½ cups plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp mixed spice
½ tsp salt
3 cups oats
½ cup of dried cherries
½ cup white chocolate chips
½ cups of macadamia nuts

Oat cookies

Method

Preheat the oven to 200C

Beat butter and sugar until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla, beat well. Add baking soda, flour, salt, cinnamon and mixed spice, mix well. Add oats and cherries, chocolate and nuts. After mixing drop dough in tablespoon sized balls onto a baking sheet. Cook for about 10 minutes until starting to turn golden brown.
