The soft cookies make a great after school snack!
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, salt, cinnamon and baking powder. Add flour mixture to butter mixture and combine. Fold in oatmeal, apple chunks and dried cherries.
Using a 2 TBS cookie scoop, drop cookies on prepared cookie sheets leaving about an inch between cookies. Bake at 350 F for 12-15 minutes until set and browned around the edges. Let cookies cool on sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely. Makes around 18 cookies.
These cookies can be frozen up to a month in advance of serving!
