Ingredients

1/3    cup    butter ( or margarine, softened )
1/3    cup    vegetable oil ( any vegetable oil )
1/2    cup    sugar
1/2    cup    brown sugar, packed ( light )
1    egg
1    teaspoon    vanilla extract
1 3/4    cup    flour
1/2    teaspoon    baking soda
1/2    teaspoon    salt
1/2    cup    quick oats
3/4    cup    chocolate chips
3/4    cup    maraschino cherries ( rinsed, dried, and chopped into quarters )

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large mixing bowl add the butter, oil, sugar, and brown sugar and cream with an electric mixer. Add the egg and vanilla, mix well. Add the flour, soda, salt, and oats in a separate mixing bowl and combine. Then mix the dry into the wet ingredients. Add the chocolate chips and cherries mix by hand until combined thoroughly. Spoon out teaspoonfuls of dough on ungreased, insulated cookie sheets (can use parchment paper) and cook for 8-10 minutes. Take the cookies out when tan instead of golden and transfer the parchment paper with the cookies on it right to the counter to cool. The parchment paper really helps when you take the cookies out at the tan baking stage. Then the hot cookie doesn't fall apart as it cools undisturbed on the parchment paper. It holds it's shape really well.
