I'm a lover of oatmeal cookies and these are as good as any I ever tasted. I used crushed almonds instead of macadamia.

These are delicious cookies. A surprise in every bite. I used a blend of dried berries(dried cherries were too expensive) I will make them again.

These are really, really good. I was leary about adding the nuts, chips, and cherries because the dough itself is so good, but I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out wonderfully. Can't stop eating them.

Great cookie recipe. Used craisins instead of cherries and they were delicious. I will certainly make these again.

Great oatmeal cookie recipe. The cherries were ok, but I prefer raisins, so I'll probably se them next time.

Nice texture with a good balance of crispy outside and chewy center. I really liked the combination of dried cherries and white chocolate, even though I am a dark chocolate lover. The macadamias were a nice addition. I'm thinking of trying pine nuts instead, or maybe dark chocolate rather than white. These are awesome cookies and didn't last long at my house. I think the basic cookie recipe is so good it would be great with whatever you might throw in there.

I loved this recipe. It was simple and easy to make, but I use half of the butter and not a packed cup of brown sugar, and they came out perfect.

I didn't have enough cherries so used part dried cranberries. A #50 scoop made 70 cookies.
