Gluten~Free Cherry Nut Oatmeal Cookies

Here is a recipe I came up with years ago!,,,,Many have asked me for this recipe so I figured I would share now!,,,If you are not worried about making these Gluten free,,,just use regular flour and quick oats and omit the xanthum gum,,,,everything else will remain the same,,,,I love the cherries in these cookies but if you are not a fan, you could replace with raisins!! Here is what I do....Enjoy
