Notes
- Cookie dough can be chilled in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes before baking if you prefer a cookie that spreads less when baked
- These chewy oatmeal cherry cookies are best when enjoyed the same day
- Cookie dough can be pre portioned and frozen for future use
- Old fashioned rolled oats work best in this recipe, although quick oats can be substituted in a pinch I highly recommend sticking with the old fashioned oats
