Butter
2 tablespoons (Melted and browned)
Large egg
1 (Beaten)
Sugar

Instructions
1
Begin by positioning an oven rack in the center and preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Prepare three baking sheets by lightly oiling them or spraying them with nonstick cooking spray, then dust them with a light sprinkle of flour, shaking off any excess.
3
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the rolled oats, corn syrup, and canola oil. Mix them together until well incorporated.
4
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir gently until the butter starts to develop a light, nutty brown color, which should take about 1.5 to 2 minutes. Be vigilant to avoid burning the butter.
5
Once browned, pour the melted butter into the oat mixture and stir well to combine. Set this mixture aside to cool slightly.
6
In a separate mixing bowl, beat together the large egg and sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is thick, pale, and fluffy, which should take around 5 minutes. Then, blend in the vanilla extract.
7
In a small bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold this dry mixture into the beaten egg mixture until just combined.
8
Carefully add the oat mixture and the chopped dried tart cherries to the egg mixture. Stir gently until everything is well incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
9
Using a teaspoon, drop spoonfuls of the cookie batter onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
10
Bake one batch at a time in the preheated oven for approximately 4 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown and have a lacy appearance.
11
Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a flat surface to cool completely.
