Dark Chocolate Cherry Oatmeal Cookies
These are one my favorite granola bars.
So I decided to try and make them into cookies.
Dark Chocolate Cherry Oatmeal Cookies.
Love that UVA touch? :) haha.
I think these might be my new favorite cookie. Dark chocolate and dried cherries are seriously a great combination.
All I did was take a recipe for oatmeal raisin cookies and changed it a little. Instead of raisins I used dried cherries, and added dark chocolate chunks (although chips would work just as well!). Yumm.
These cookies are easy to make and bake really well. I had no problems and could add everything right in the mixer.
Here's the recipe :)
