Stayed soft and chewy for the 3-4 days that these cookies lasted in my house. The taste was very yummy. Will become my go to oatmeal cookie I think.

Really great flavor especially with the macadamia nuts. I made 1/2 the batch without for someone who can't have nuts and much preferred them with the nuts. Drop by stiff spoonfuls onto the pan to keep the cookie together after baking.

I made these cookies the other day. They were great. My husband commented a few times how he really liked these cookies. My teenage son turned up his nose because they had fruit in them but my daughter enjoyed them. After I started preparing the cookies, I realized that I didn't have any dried cherries. I had dried cranberries in the house and used them instead. That is the only change I made to the recipe. I can't wait to get to the store for some dried cherries and try them again. I have seen similar recipes that call for semi-sweet chocolate chips but I think the white baking chips are great. Thanks for a great recipe.
