Chewy, tender oatmeal cookies studded with chocolate chips and plump dried cherries. A perfect Fall treat.
I was making oatmeal the other day and went into the pantry to grab some raisins when I spotted a bag of dried cherries I'd bought on our last trip up north. This immediately made me think about making cookies. Then, when I went into the baking cupboard for the flour, I spotted a bag of chocolate chips and grabbed them too.
