White Chocolate Cherry Oatmeal Cookies


These are my favorite! Oatmeal in anything makes me drool. And why not jazz up your good ol' go to oatmeal cookie recipe with some chocolate and dried fruit of any combination.
I suppose I will have to make some with butterscotch chips for my brother or he will be very disappointed. Or maybe he will surprise me with a batch that he made. Ooo...I like the sounds of that!
Happy Holiday baking...let me know if you want to exchange some cookies!
