Oatmeal Everything Cookies

I love things with chunks and fun things in them.

Ice cream: The more going on in it, the better...none of this soft serve, smooth stuff.

Cookies: Load 'em up! I love biting in to different flavors and textures in a nice, chewy, hot from the oven cookie!

Bread: I'm all about cinnamon swirl bread, cinnamon rolls, dinner rolls with herbs and cheese...

Dinner: When I make a meal, you will never EVER just get one dish with one flavor. There's always lots of fun stuff going on in your mouth and I make at least 2 side dishes to go with the main course.
Things like boxes of mac n' cheese and Campbell's tomato soup are banned from my kitchen.



I guess it's my personality. I get bored real easy, and like changing things up.

Like I re-arrange my kitchen at least every 2 weeks....and i'm constantly moving things in our house so my poor husband dear is confused about who's house he is in on a weekly basis.


So I've been wanting to make oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for awhile now....and when I was grocery shopping last week, I saw these babies:

and thought...how crazy good would they be in oatmeal cookies?? Throw some dried cherries in there with chocolate chips and I'm pretty sure they would be the ultimate.

So I did all 3 of those things. And they were.

(the ultimate, that is.)

Perfectly chewy, not the least bit cakey, and nice and thick with loads of flavor! Just the way I like :)
