OATMEAL CHERRY CRISPIES
I love dried cherries and keep my eyes open for opportunities to use them. This is a wonderful recipe with the chew from oats and cherries, a crunch from the crispy rice and nuts, moistness from the coconut. Its all around delicious. Almost like eating a granola cookie.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350. Soak the dried cherries in just enough very hot water to cover and soak for 5 minutes. Then drain and blot dry. Cream together the butter and sugars until well mixed. Add the egg and mix.
- 2. In another bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. If using the regular whole wheat, either white or traditional, I like to sift it a bit with a mesh strainer and take out a little of the bran. But you dont have to do this. Whisk the flours, tartar, soda, salt. Mix in with the butter/sugar mixture.
- 3. When well combined, stir in the oats, crispy cereal, coconut and nuts with a spoon. Add the cherries. Scoop out little balls of dough, perhaps with a cookie scoop or spoon onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake about 15 minutes, rotating pan after 8 minutes and keeping an eye. When they start turning golden, remove from oven. The first batch always takes a few minutes more than the following, due to hotter oven and hot pans. These turn out crispy, nutty, sweet and a bit chewy. Yum!
