Chewy Fruit Cookies image

This recipe, given to me by a friend years ago, was one I used to save just for Christmas. But friends and family began to request them regularly, and now I buy extra candied cherries when they go on sale in December so I can make the treats all year long.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I found that the cookies spread out too much in the oven. I think I'll try chilling the dough before baking next time.

These cookies are the perfect balance of chewy and soft. The dried fruit adds a nice sweetness and tartness, and the oats give them a hearty texture.
