List of Ingredients




Cookie Ingredients:

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened*
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups uncooked quick-cooking
or old-fashioned oats
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
5 ounces (1 cup) dried tart cherries, coarsely chopped
Drizzle Ingredients:

3/4 cup real semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons shortening



Recipe



Heat oven to 375°F. Combine sugar, butter, brown sugar and peanut butter in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; continue beating until well mixed. Reduce speed to low; add oats, flour, baking powder and soda. Beat until well mixed. Stir in cherries by hand.

Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Let stand 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets. Cool completely.

Melt chocolate chips and shortening in 1-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until smooth (2 to 3 minutes). Drizzle over cooled cookies.

*Substitute LAND O LAKES® Soft Baking Butter with Canola Oil right from the refrigerator.

TIP: Six to eight pounds of fresh tart cherries make one pound of dried cherries. To improve the cherry flavor in the dried product, fresh cherries are usually infused with sugar or other sweeteners prior to drying. No other additives or preservatives are added. Look for dried, tart cherries next to other dried fruits at your grocery store, natural food store or gourmet food shop. Keep dried cherries for up to 1 year in a cool, dry place. It’s not necessary to refrigerate or freeze them.
