Yikes! Who knows where this whole blog post and recipe went? It’s totally disappeared. I’ll add the recipe, then see if I can hunt down a photo…
Ingredients
- Adapted from "Tough Cookie" by Diane Mott Davidson
- 1 cup blanched slivered almonds, toasted (I put in preheated oven about 4 minutes)
- 4 ounces white chocolate, chopped into chunks (or use bittersweet chocolate if you prefer)
- 1 cup dried tart cherries
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º. Line cookie sheets with parchment.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add sugars and beat mix until creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla. Beat the mixture until well combined. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt to the mixture and mix until well-combined. Stir in oatmeal, then mix in chocolate chips, chopped chocolate, cherries and nuts until all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Using a 1-tablespoon scoop, measure out cookies . Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until cookies are light brown. Cool on sheets for a couple minutes, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
- Makes about 6 dozen cookies.

Wonderful cookies, Liz, I can see why the dough was your lunch. You know there are plenty of us that have done the same thing at least once in our lives.
What beautiful cookies, they look delicious! I must admit, I’m guilty of eating cookie dough at times too.
Those cookies look delicious, I just love that combo, chocolate and cherries are perfect hope you and hubby have a wonderful Valentines!
Lots of goodies packed into this cookie-yum! Sweet of you to make to comfort your neighbors during their time of grief.

I do believe that it is necessary to taste the dough and I have ocassions in which more is required for that taste test
Mandorle, cioccolato bianco, fondente e visciole??
Spettacolo!! Goduria per il palato!!
Bravissima!!!
Un abbraccio!!!
The perfect cookies for my lunch and that will give me all the energy for the rest of the day.
Such perfect cookies Liz! Here’s to the beginning of a great week! Cheers!
Oh-oh. First it was the resolutions and now it’s lent approaching… good idea on stocking up in advance, Liz! Now, what is that that the cookie is sitting on? At first I thought it was french fries! Lol. Now that’s what I call a sweet plate!

I love oatmeal cookies and the added cherries with chocolate chips, what a combo. I am checking out the hot yoga, certainly sounds hot,eh. Have a great day.
Great cookie and it sounds really versatile too. I bet these are great with whatever chocolate you have on hand! (Have fun at yoga!)
The cookie dough is sometimes the best part
When I make cookies at home my little brother will only eat the dough – never the baked cookie! I love the slivered almonds with the tart cherries and white chocolate, delicious sounding cookie!
These look amazing!! I’ve pinned them to try soon. And I’ll have to check out those books – culinary mysteries?! Congrats on the awards
oops! I forgot to add in my comment earlier that I awarded you something special on my blog
I love love love your blog, thanks for all of deliciousness!
These cookies sound outrageously delciious! I love all those ingredients – for a cookie they sound healthy and nutritious.
I love a good choc-oat-chip cookie, and I can imagine that almonds, cherries and white chocolate could only make them better! Sometimes we all just need cookie dough for lunch.
I’m not much of a cookie eater, but when I do oatmeal and chocolate chip are my favorites. These look and sound delicious Lizzy.
Happy Valentine’s day.

Hey Lizzy, You’re right, they’re similar to my post; but I like the idea you have of using white chocolate…makes the cookie interesting! You know what they say…great minds thing alike! And oh yeah, I ate so many testing them, I’m having a real guilt trip!
lol hot Yoga practice!!!! Happy V day…to someone who spreads love with her food and words and thoughts!!
These look SO good! So much better than oatmeal raisin!
Mmm these sound delicious!! I love the white chocolate replacement, since I prefer that over other chocolates. I bet its fantastic with the cherries. These are definitely getting added to the list of must tries!

Liz – congratulations AGAIN on your amazing awards – well deserved as always! These cookies are wonderful…the blanched, slivered almonds – toasted are a terrific addition! YUMMY! Happy Valentines Day!
I adore oatmeal cookies. Somehow I find it very difficult to stop eating them when I start
Diane Mott Davidson’s book sounds intriguing! Your cookies are so appetising, I’m not surprised they were better than any sweet lunch (I also sometimes have sweets instead of a savoury, proper meal
Those cookies look so delicious. The pictures are very stunning, too. I know they can be very addictive
Simple and beautiful
I love a chewy oatmeal cookie, and chunky is always a gut attribute 
My granddaughter would love you for these cookies. Yummy!
The perfect oatmeal cookie recipe! xo
Hmmm… I’m not sure I could give up cookie dough for Lent! It might go as badly as the year I tried to stop drinking coca-cola. My husband said he didn’t think God would really appreciate my sacrifice if I was a snarly *itch the whole season!
Congratulations on the award, the wonderful cupcake recipe and for you just being such an amazing person
Cheers

These look so good. I really like the tart cherry and chocolate combo.
These cookies look wonderful Lizzy – and an absolute sweet gesture for your friend =)
