INGREDIENTS

    1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
    1/4 cup rolled oats
    1/4 teaspoon baking soda
    1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
    6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
    6 tablespoons brown sugar
    2 tablespoons granulated sugar
    1 egg
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
    1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
    1/4 cup dried cherries


PREPARATION

    Heat oven to 375°. In a bowl, combine flour, oats, baking soda and cinnamon. In another bowl, cream butter and sugars until fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add egg and vanilla; beat until smooth. Blend flour mixture into butter mixture. Stir in chocolate chips, walnuts and cherries. Drop 20 dough balls (1 tbsp each) onto 2 ungreased cookie sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake until golden brown, 9 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool on sheets 3 minutes, then transfer to foil to cool fully.
