Two Chip Oatmeal Cherry Cookies

By srumbel

The best thing about these cookies (aside from their taste) is how versatile they are. Don’t like cherries? Use raisins or cranberries. Don’t like white chocolate? No problem, you can easily switch out both kinds of chips. These cookies are easily adaptable to suit your own taste!
