    List of Ingredients




    Bars:
    1 cup butter, softened
    3/4 cup granulated sugar
    1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
    2 eggs
    1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
    1 1/2 cups semi-sweet real chocolate chips
    1 cup (5 ounce) dried tart cherries, coarsely chopped

    Topping:
    2 cups confectioners' sugar
    1 to 2 teaspoons Kirsch or apple juice
    2 to 3 tablespoons water

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine butter, sugar and brown sugar in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy (1 to 2 minutes). Add eggs and vanilla extract; continue beating until well mixed. Reduce speed to low; add flour, baking soda and salt. Beat until well mixed (1 to 2 minutes). Stir in oats, chocolate chips and cherries by hand. Spread dough evenly into ungreased 15 x 10-inch jellyroll pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely.

    Topping: Stir together confectioners' sugar and Kirsch in small bowl. Gradually stir in enough water for desired drizzling consistency. Drizzle over bars.
