Dark Chocolate, Cherry, & Oatmeal Cookies

2/3 cup butter, softened

2/3 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1 1/2 cups oats, old-fashioned

1 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

6 oz dried cherries

1 cup semi-sweet chips

One of our families favorite go-to snacks is a cup of dried cherries & chocolate chips, so why not turn oatmeal cookies into something special!  Here is a basic oatmeal recipe, but you could use your own fave & just at the cherries & chocolate too!

Simply combine butter & brown sugar in a bowl.  Whip until fluffy, then add eggs one at a time. In a separate bowl combine oats, flour, baking soda & salt. Slowly add to the butter mixture, mixing with a spoon until combined.  Then, stir in the dried cherries & chocolate chips.

Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet & place into a 375 degree preheated oven. Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes or until the tops just start to turn golden.

They are amazing warm... betcha can't eat just one!
