Dark Chocolate Cherry Oatmeal Cookies - Making Thyme for Health

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F then place the ingredients (oat flour to salt) in a large bowl, sift to combine and then set aside.

Step 2

Place wet ingredients (maple syrup to butter) in a medium size bowl and mix together.

Step 3

Add the dry ingredients to the wet then fold in the chocolate chips and cherries. Continue to stir with a spoon until a uniform dough has formed.

Step 4

Refrigerate dough for about 30 minutes, until it has firmed some, then roll it into large tablespoon sized balls and set on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. If you like a thicker cookie, you can refrigerate them for several hours or freeze them before baking.

Step 5

If the cookies are firm and cool from refrigerating/freezing (defrost for a while if frozen), use a cup or other flat surface to press down on the cookie so that it flattens. Otherwise, if it is still soft, you can use your hand to gently flatten it. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until light golden brown. Allow to cool for at least ten minutes before serving.
