How to Make Whole Wheat Cherry Dark Chocolate Almond Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 ½ cups whole wheat flour.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in 1 cup rolled oats, 1 cup dried cherries, ½ cup sliced almonds, and 1 cup dark chocolate chips, ensuring even distribution.
  7. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
