The wind had switched directions out of the north and the snow was starting to drift. The weather forecast was for thirty below. Why were we doing a Boy Scout campout in a Minnesota winter?

The kids didn’t mind the weather; they were busy playing “King of the Mountain”. They were going to go through lots of calories . . . but we had lots of cookies. By far, their favorite was a chocolate oat cookie with a cherry pressed into the top.

We’ve made these cookies for a lot of years now. They are a scrumptious chocolate cookie but the oatmeal makes them substantial. We’ve never met a cookie lover that didn’t love these cookies. And they make great holiday cookies.

These make great holiday cookies but don’t relegate them to December only. We’ve made these many times and they are always a hit. But then, cherries and chocolate are always a favorite.

Ingredients

1 1/3 cups butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups quick or old-fashioned rolled oats
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
About one jar of maraschino cherries, drained
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
1. Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the eggs and beat until light and fluffy, scraping the sides once (about five minutes). Add the melted chocolate and vanilla.
2. Add the rolled oats. Add the flour, salt, and baking powder and mix until combined.
3. Drop spoonfuls of dough on an ungreased baking sheet. Press a cherry deep into the dough for each. Bake for 11 or 12 minutes. Remove immediately to a wire rack to cool. Once cool, drizzle the cookie with melted chocolate.

Baker’s notes: Chocolate can be melted easily in the microwave. Place the chocolate in a small bowl and microwave in thirty second intervals, stirring after each until smooth.

For drizzling the chocolate, place the chocolate chips in a heavy duty, zipper-type plastic bag. Once melted, snip a tiny corner from the bag and squeeze the chocolate through the snipped corner to drizzle on the cookies.
