Oatmeal Chocolate Cherry Cookies




















INGREDIENTS: 


* 1 1/2 cups flour
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 1 tsp cinnamon
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 1/2 cup brown sugar
* 2 eggs
* 2 tsp vanilla extract
* 3 cups oats
* 1 cup chocolate chips
* 1 cup dried cherries




HOW TO MAKE: 


Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together sugars and butter until light and fluffy. Add in eggs one at a time. Add in vanilla. Add flour mixture to liquid mixture and beat until mixed. Fold in oats, chocolate chips and cherries. Drop slightly rounded pieces of the dough (about 1 inch big) onto cookie sheets and bake 12-15 minutes or until slightly golden on the edges. Let cool before transferring to a wire rack or plate. 


Makes about 3 dozen. 




This recipe is so good! You can easily make them your own by adding your favorite type of chocolate, dried fruit and even some nuts to the mixture. I didn't have very many chocolate chips so I added nuts instead. It was still very good. Enjoy!
