OATMEAL CHERRY COOKIES

    Oatmeal Cherry Cookies

    2 cups margarine, softened
    2 cups brown sugar (packed)
    1 cup granulated sugar
    4 eggs
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    3 cups all-purpose flour
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1 teaspoon salt (optional)
    4 cups quick-cooking or old fashioned oats, uncooked
    3 cups dried tart cherries
    2 cups semisweet chocolate morsels

    Put margarine, brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat until creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla extract; beat until smooth.

    In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add to egg mixture, beating until smooth. Add cherries and chocolate chips, mixing until combined.

    Portion with a No. 40 scoop onto a lightly greased 18 x 26 x 1-inch full sheet pan. Bake at 375 degree F in a conventional oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned.

    Let cool 1 minute; remove to wire rack to cool completely. Store in a tightly covered container.

    Yields 96 cookies.
