Notes
I use dried blueberries and sour cherries for this recipe. You can substitute dried cranberries for the cherries. I have used fresh blueberries, just be careful to stir in with a spoon or use your hands to avoid crushing the fruit.

I love chewy oatmeal cookies with a crispy edge. If you prefer a softer cookie,adjust your baking time by a couple of minutes less.
