Chocolate Cherry Oatmeal Cookies

Hello all.

Fall is here  so that means baking time!

I had some oatmeal I needed to use up and I didn't have any raisins so I decided to try something new.

I'm not going to lie, these are not the most amazing cookies you have ever had, however the oats > flour ratio makes them far better for you and I'm planning on having these instead of muffins for breakfast. :)

2 sticks of butter or margarine

1 C firmly packed brown sugar

1 C sugar

2 eggs

1 t vanilla

1 t baking soda

2 C flour

1/2 t salt

3 C uncooked oats

1 C dried cherries (I cut the cherries in half since they are larger than raisins)

1/2 C chocolate chips (you can up the amount of chips to your preference)

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Beat butter and sugars until creamy. Then add vanilla, eggs, beat well. Then add the baking soda, salt and flour. Then stir in cherries, chocolate and finally oats. Drop onto ungreased cookie sheet and bake for about 9-11 minutes depending on your oven.
