Have you ever felt like an Oatmeal Cookie could be classified as breakfast?  

I mean it is Oatmeal after all.  I say eat these cookies for breakfast if you want because these Oatmeal Cherry Cookies are so good and they are huge! 

The dark brown sugar and cinnamon give them an unbelievable flavor.  Sure to become one of your new all-time favorite cookie recipes.

Over the years this recipe has been requested from friends and family over and over. 

These are huge cookies, twice the size of an average cookie, which is not a bad thing.  Actually, it’s a very, very good thing.
 
This Oatmeal Cherry Cookie recipe produces a crispy outside with a gooey inside and the tartness of the cherries with the sweet brown sugar-cinnamon flavor is a marriage of taste made in heaven.  Great for a gift or a treat for the kid’s sports team event.  I have taken these into school for the kids on their birthdays many, many times and parents call the next day asking if I will share the recipe because their son or daughter raved about the cookies when they were home.
 
Note: Substitute Gluten Free Flour for All-Purpose Flour to make recipe gluten-free

    Dear Amy, These cookies look wonderful! I love oatmeal cookies…a nice alternative to the traditional raisin. I prefer it with dried cherries.

    I noticed your youtube channel on your sidebar and thoroughly enjoyed watching a few of your videos! The blondie video was too cute. Have a wonderful weekend. xo, Catherine
