Cherry-Oat Party Cookies Recipe
This Cherry-Oat Party Cookies are the most delicious cookies! Normally, my kids would never touch oat cookies...but this seems to be the only way to get them to eat it! The combination of the oats and cherries is really delicious. I sometime serve it with a scoop of ice cream...just to make it seem more interesting!
