Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Cream together butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Stir in water.

In a separate bowl, whisk together oats, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cloves. Slowly add this dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring until combined. Stir in toasted almonds and dried cherries.

Using a medium cookie scoop, drop two tablespoons of dough per cookie onto a cookie sheet, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until just starting to brown.
