Giant Cherry Oatmeal Cookies image

These colossal cookies taste best when golden around the edges and moist and chewy in the center. With a glass of milk, they're polished off in no time by my grandchildren. -Irene McDade, Cumberland, Rhode Island

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still pretty good. I think next time I'll use half the amount of sugar.

These cookies are the best! They're so soft and chewy, and the cherries are the perfect addition. I love that they're not too sweet, and they're also really easy to make. I'll definitely be making these again and again!

I was disappointed with these cookies. They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

Not bad! I thought the cookies were a little bland, but they were still pretty good. I think next time I'll add some chocolate chips or nuts to the batter.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added a little more butter or oil to the batter. Otherwise, they were pretty good.

These cookies are delicious! The oats give them a nice chewy texture, and the cherries add a pop of sweetness. I also love the fact that they're not too sweet. I'll definitely be making these again.

I've made these cookies several times now, and they're always a hit! They're so easy to make, and they always turn out perfectly. The only thing I do differently is add a little bit of cinnamon to the batter. It gives them a nice warm flavor.

These cookies are absolutely delicious! They're soft and chewy, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness from the cherries. I love the addition of oats, which gives them a nice texture and makes them feel more filling. I'll definitely be maki
