These were delicious but they're really nothing fancy. I used the recipe on the lid of the Quaker Oats container and added dried cherries and toasted pecans. I had some with the boys. I sent some to their mom's house with them. I took several dozen to a party with my sailing team. I even saved a few to drink with 12 year old Irish whiskey at Chris and Cathy's house later that night. I ate a lot of cookies.
