Cherry and Apple Pie Oatmeal Cookies

Well, I have been working on this recipe for a couple of days trying to perfect it!.... Coming up with a recipe that is gluten free and with low or no sugar can be quite difficult, the dried cherries and tart apples add some sweetness to these, you could also add chopped walnuts if you like! I used gluten free flour, but you could use regular in the same amount and omit the xanthum gum...Also if you are not worried about sugar you can use brown sugar instead of the honey.....Here is what I did....Enjoy!
