"These sound delish! But I would highly suggest using parchement paper on the cookies sheets, as other reviewers say they really stuck to the sheets without it. From Food Network. Posted for ZWT 6."

• Yields: 30 cookies

ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1⁄3 cup corn syrup

1. Set oven rack in the center; preheat to 400°F
2. Lightly oil 3 baking sheets or coat with nonstick cooking spray, and dust them with flour, shaking off excess.
3. Combine oats, corn syrup and oil in a medium bowl.
4. Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat and cook until it begins to turn a light, nutty brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. (Be careful not to burn the butter.)
5. Pour into the oat mixture and stir to combine. Set aside.
6. Beat egg and sugar in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until thickened and pale, about 5 minutes. Blend in vanilla.
7. Stir together flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl; fold into the egg mixture.
8. Add the oat mixture and dried cherries; stir gently to combine.
9. Spoon the batter by teaspoonfuls, about 2 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets.
10. Bake, one sheet at a time, for about 4 minutes, or until the cookies are golden and lacy.
11. Let cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then carefully remove cookies from the baking sheet and cool on a flat surface (NOT a rack).
