DRIED CHERRY AND WHITE CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COOKIES
I adapted this recipe from Martha Stewart after making a mistake in the original recipe and finding the consensus was my "mistake" version was better than the original. I tweaked it a little, came up with these, and they are always a hit. They are great even with just the dried cherries as well, and are good with or without the walnuts. Feel free to add more or less of the white chocolate and walnuts (if using) according to your taste. The recipe halves (or doubles, etc.) easily. I also find these are better made in drier weather, as you get a light, slightly crispy outside, which humidity seems to soften. However, they still taste great. Note the number of servings changes depending on the size of the cookies.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 and line cookie sheets with parchment paper. The parchment paper works better as the cookies seem to bake more evenly, but if necessary, you can use non-stick spray on the pans instead.
- If the dried cherries are large, cut them in half.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder; set aside.
- Using an electric mixer on high speed, cream the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until well-mixed, about 15-30 seconds.
- Add in the flour mixture, and beat at low speed until combined.
- At low speed, mix in the oats.
- Add the dried cherries and white chocolate (and walnuts, if using) at low speed, until just combined and mixed through.
- Drop by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets about 2 1/2 inches apart.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until very lightly browned. You don't want these too dark or overcooked so they come out a bit chewy.
- Leave on the sheet for a minute to give the cookies a chance to set, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
- You can make them smaller, or, as in the original recipe, drop by 2 oz. cookie scoops to make large cookies. Adjust the baking time accordingly. (About 8-10 minutes for smaller, 20 minutes for large.).

UGLY CHERRY OATMEAL NO BAKE COOKIES
I had a thought this morning! No bake cookies with no chocolate, I know, almost a sin right? Well bare with me, please. I added a little extra butter, just seemed the likely thing to do, to make up for the lack of chocolate. lol Added some coconut and best of all, dried cherries! When it all came together...I thought WOW...

Steps:
- 1. In a 2 c glass measuring cup or a small glass bowl, add cherries and water, microwave 2 minutes. Allow to stand in water 15 minutes. Drain and set aside. While waiting 15 minutes, line your counter top with wax paper and get your other ingredients ready to go.
- 2. In a large saucepan, over medium heat add butter, milk and sugars. Stir almost constantly until mixture begins to boil. Once it comes to boil, (do not allow to come to a rolling boil) remove from heat, stir in peanut butter, vanilla, salt, oatmeal, coconut and cherries until well combined.
- 3. Using a medium to large cookie scoop, or a couple tablespoons, drop cookies onto wax paper. Allow to set up then enjoy! :o)
- 4. ***I find it easier to chop the cherries after they are hydrated, but you may prefer it before.

Tips:
- Use fresh cherries. Fresh cherries will give your cookies the best flavor. If you don't have fresh cherries, you can use frozen or dried cherries. But let them defrost and drain before using.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make your cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the ideal temperature for baking oatmeal cookies. If you bake them at a higher temperature, they will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help them firm up and develop their full flavor.
Conclusion:
Cherry oatmeal cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for any occasion, from a casual snack to a special dessert. With their chewy texture, sweet and tart flavor, and plenty of juicy cherries, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying cookie recipe, give cherry oatmeal cookies a try!
