Preheat oven to 375~. Grease baking sheets with shortening. In large
bowl, combine shortening, sugar, egg, milk, vanilla and almond extracts.
Beat at medium speed of electric mixer until well-blended. In another bowl,
combine oats, flour, baking soda and salt. Mix into creamed mixture at low
speed just until blended. Stir in chocolates, cherries and almonds. Drop
rounded tablespoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned. Do not overbake. Cool 2
minutes on baking sheet. Remove cookies to foil to cool completely. Makes
about 4 dozen.
