Kitchen Sink Cookies (Cherry, Chocolate And Pistachio)

• 1 1/2 cups plain flour
• 1/2 cup oatmeal
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated cinnamon (although powder would be fine)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 12 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 7 ounces chocolate chips (I liked the mixture of white and semisweet)
• 4 ounces unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1 cup pistachips
• 1 cup fresh cherries - chopped, although dried would work too
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

1. Mix the first 5 ingredients in a large bowl.
2. Cream together the butter and sugars - I usually do this in my stand mixer, but you can do with a hand mixer or if you're feeling strong by hand.
3. Then add the eggs one at a time until incorporated. Add the vanilla. And beat in the flour on a low-speed.
4. Fold in the chocolate, coconut, cherries and nuts.
5. Mould the dough into balls the size of a golf ball. Place the cookie dough balls on parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
6. Pre-heat the oven to 350u0b0 and bake the cookies for 13-15 minutes until just beginning to turn golden. Cool on the cookie sheet, on a rack.
