["Preheat oven to 350 F.", "In the large bowl of your stand mixer, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.", "Meanwhile in a medium bowl, combine oats, flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.", "Add flax ""egg"" into the creamed butter mixture and stir until combined. A flax ""egg"" is 3 tablespoons of milled flax seed plus 4 tablespoons water. (I used the flax egg method in my testing because I wanted to taste the dough as I went along, but had every intention of making the cookies with a real egg. However, I liked the nuttiness the flax gave the cookies so much, I decided to keep it in my final recipe. You can substitute a real egg for the flax ""egg"" if you prefer, though.)", "Mix bitters, vanilla, orange zest and bourbon into the butter mixture.", "Dump the dry ingredients into the wet, and stir until combined.", "Give the cherries a rough chop and fold them into the cookie dough.", "Mound the dough into 2 tablespoon sized balls onto a greased cookie sheet, and gently flatten out just a bit with your hand.", "Bake for 20 minutes at 350 F."]

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
