Quick and Easy Oatmeal Cookies Recipe

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, small egg, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat them together until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This will ensure that there are no lumps and everything is evenly mixed.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined. Now, fold in the rolled oats, seeds, nuts, and if desired, the dried cherries. Make sure everything is evenly distributed.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This makes the cookies easier to handle and improves their texture when baked.

While the dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 170 degrees Celsius (340 degrees Fahrenheit). Make sure your oven is ready to ensure even baking.

Using a spoon, scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough for each cookie and form them into balls. Slightly flatten them while on the parchment paper. Space them apart as they will spread while baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 13 minutes until they are golden brown. Allow them to cool on a wire rack.

These cookies are perfect for storing in a decorative box, making them not only delicious but also a lovely addition to your kitchen décor.
