These cookies are terrific! I always refrigerate my cookie dough for an hour before I bake, and return the dough to the refrigerator between batches. This helps the cookies crisp up on the outside while keeping the centers moist. I added some heath chips with my craisins to make a full cup and I used dark chocolate chips. Thanks for the recipe!

These cookies are delicious! Perfect for the Fall baking season. I didn't have dried cherries, so I used dried cranberries....really good. Thanks!
