Bet you can't eat just one!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

In a single word....YUMMY!! After reading the other comments, I made the following changes: replaced raisins with dried... cherries, replaced M&Ms with walnut pieces....and viola...the end result was oh so delicious. Next time, I will add shredded sweetened coconut as well but I am sure, no matter what minor changes you make to create your own personal favorite....you can't go wrong with this recipe as a starting point!Read more

Follow the recipe and you will be rewarded with tasty, delicious cookies that are easy to make. They bake up slightly crisp... on the outside and chewy on the inside. If you give this recipe a try, you won't be disappointed! :) You'll be watching them disappear!Read more
