These cookies are SO good. I like that they have so much fruit and grains in them. The cherries plump up a bit and are tart yet sweet. A great 'healthy' taste combination! I just mix everything together in my stand mixer and use a cookie scoop - easy. Make sure you grease the cookie sheet if not using parchment. They can get a little dry the next day, but they're usually gone by then. - 16 Mar 2004 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
These are so good. I used dried cranberries instead of dried cherries. - 03 Sep 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
These had a good flavor, but were more like a breakfast health cookie. If you choose to substitute flax meal (as many sites say that it is okay in place of wheat germ), you might want to use less. It makes the cookie pretty dry! I used cranberries instead of cherries, too. - 03 Dec 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
