Instructions

Oatmeal Cherry Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
  4. Gradually add in the flour mixture, beating on low speed until fully incorporated.
  5. Add the oats, dried cherries, and chocolate chips and mix until combined.
  6. Use a cookie scoop to drop dough balls onto a wax paper lined baking sheet.
  7. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. While the dough is chilling, make the Mickey Chips.
  8. Preheat the oven to 350 F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. Place the chilled dough balls onto prepared baking sheets, placing about 2 inches apart.
  10. Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes or until lightly brown around the edges.
  11. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the pan. During this time, gently press 1-2 Mickey Chips onto the top of each cookie.
  12. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Mickey Chips

  1. Place cocoa candy melts in a disposable piping bag. Heat in the microwave, checking every 30 seconds until melted.
  2. Pipe the cocoa candy melts into the silicone mold. Once filled, tap the mold on the counter to clear out any air bubbles.
  3. Scrap off excess chocolate using an off-set spatula.
  4. Place the filled mold into the refrigerator to harden, about 15 minutes.
  5. Pop out the chocolate Mickeys and store in an airtight container until ready to use.
