Chef Devin Alexander’s Cherry Oatmeal Cookies mix in sweet dried cherries to add a tart twist to a tried-and-true favorite: the oatmeal cookie. This recipe contains 40% fewer calories and 77% less sugar* than the full-sugar version. Makes 24 cookies.
In a small bowl, mix the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Set the mixture aside.
4.
In a large mixing bowl, add the butter, Truvia Cane Sugar Blend and Truvia Brown Sugar Blend. Using an electric mixer fitted with beaters, cream them until they are smooth.
5.
Beat in the egg white and vanilla until they are well combined.
6.
Next, add the flour mixture and beat the mixture on low speed until well blended.
7.
With a rubber spatula, stir in the oats and cherries until well combined.
8.
Place a sheet of waxed or parchment paper on a flat work surface.
9.
Separate the dough into 24 equal portions (about 2 tablespoons per), placing each on the waxed paper or parchment as you do.
10.
Shape each portion into a ball.
11.
Place each ball about 3-4 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet, working in batches, if necessary (they will spread slightly).
12.
Using a sheet of waxed paper or parchment paper, flatten each ball until it is 2 inches in diameter.
13.
Bake the cookies 6-9 minutes or until just chewy.
14.
Store leftover cookies in a sealed container.

Great recipe for local cherriesMy family is watching for ways to keep the daily calories on the low side. When we do get together is when we will indulge. We have used truvia products with our morning coffee and evening tea, so I was interested in trying these recipes. Here in Washington cherries are delicious and adbundent. This recipe has a short list of ingredients yet the results are yummy! I followed the recipe and the time to bake. Simple to follow and the end product was great. I would post a picture of my cookies, they look so good. So now I’m going to enjoy my coffee and cherry oatmeal cookies, thank you for posting this recipe.
