I literally made these up on the spot at 9:15pm. 20 minutes later, I was looking at a tray full of wonderful, fluffy cookies.

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• ¾ cup white sugar
• ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup dried cherries
• 3 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
• ½ cup vanilla-flavored soy milk
• 1 ½ cups oat flour
• ½ tablespoon baking powder
• ¾ cup slivered almonds, divided

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Combine oat flour and sugar in a large bowl. Add butter; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Mix in egg and soy milk. Mix in baking powder and cinnamon; dough should be the consistency of soft cookie dough. Fold in cherries and 1/2 cup almonds.

Step 3

Drop cookie dough onto the prepared sheet in 2-tablespoon portions, leaving a few inches between each cookie. Sprinkle remaining slivered almonds on top of each cookie.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of each cookies comes out clean, about 15 minutes.
