This recipe is supposed to be similar to Nordstrom's Oatmeal Cherry Cookies . Whether or not that is true, these are good cookies.

2cupslight brown sugarfirmly packed (400 grams)
1teaspoonsalt
2large eggs

2 ½cupsall-purpose flour320 grams

1cupwhite chipsalso optional
Instructions
Using an electric mixer, beat butter, brown sugar and salt together until mixture is creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating 30 seconds after each egg. Stir in milk.
Stir together flour, baking powder, and soda, then blend dry flour mixture into creamed mixture. When flour mixture is incorporated, stir in oats, cherries and nuts (if using). Cover and refrigerate for a few hours.
Preheat oven to 350°. Line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop chilled dough by tablespoonfuls about 3 inches apart onto parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 12 minutes, or just until cookies puff and are lightly golden brown. Do not overbake. (Cookies will flatten as they cool.) Slide parchment from baking sheet onto wire rack to allow cookies to cool completely.
I haven't figured out the yield on this one -- probably about 2 ½ dozen. I've been baking up a few cookies at a time.
