CHERRY NO-BAKE COOKIES
I've always loved my no-bake cookie recipe, but I was never able to place at the fair with it. So I mixed in some maraschino cherries, added a few drops of almond extract, and voila! We won a blue ribbon at the county fair in 2010. -Denise Wheeler, Newaygo, Michigan

GLUTEN-FREE CHOCOLATE-CHERRY PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
If you ask me, the best peanut butter cookies are a little chewy and almost raw in the middle, like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. When I set out to create my own recipe, that's what I had in mind, and I think I succeeded. But after making these half a dozen times, I realized I wanted more. So I poked around the pantry and found some dried cherries. Just like that, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups met peanut butter and jelly. And there ain't nothing wrong with either.

Steps:
- Position the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon, mix the peanut butter, 1/2 cup of the sugar, the egg, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the chocolate and cherries.
- Using a 1-tablespoon measure, scoop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets and then roll them into balls (you should have about 24, depending on how much dough you've snacked on). Dip a fork in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and make a crosshatch pattern on the cookies; dip the fork in sugar before marking each cookie.
- Bake the cookies for about 15 minutes, until golden and set; shift the baking sheets from front to back and bottom to top halfway through baking. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
WHOLE GRAIN BREAKFAST COOKIES
My sister and I love something sweet with our coffee in the morning. We created this recipe to make a wholesome breakfast. I generally double the batch and keep them in the freezer. They taste even better frozen (still soft!). Whole grains, fiber, and protein and no butter! Can it really be delicious? Yes! My kids can't keep their fingers out of the batter. I decided to add it to Allrecipes because everyone keeps asking me for the recipe. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Pulse the walnuts in a food processor several times to chop; continue processing until the walnuts are ground into flour; transfer to a bowl. Mix in the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, flax meal, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until thoroughly combined.
- Combine the almond butter, canola oil, agave nectar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract in the food processor and process a few seconds to blend the ingredients well; transfer the almond butter mixture to a large bowl and fold in the dried cherries and chocolate chips. Mix the walnut-oatmeal mixture into the almond butter mixture (dough will be very thick).
- Scoop up heaping teaspoons of dough, and form into balls; lay the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and flatten the cookies with a spatula. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheets before removing to finish cooling on wire racks.

Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cookies spread evenly and bake more evenly.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming too soft.
Conclusion:
Peanut butter cookies are a classic treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized with different add-ins, such as dried cherries, chocolate chips, or nuts. These cookies are perfect for a quick snack or a special occasion.
