     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.
