Notes: I came up with this recipe one evening after my husband’s sweet tooth kicked in. Looking for ideas, as I often do, I came across a basic chewy oat cookie and made some of my own changes. The freshly ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves are a must, as they make all the difference. I purchase these whole in the bulk section of Central Market, so they are more economically priced. Then I grind them myself because the flavor compared to the already ground, bottled versions can't be beat. The dry millet adds both a crunch and a nutritional boost to the already healthy oats. And the tart dried cherries and toasted walnuts are the perfect finishing touches. You’ll probably want to double or triple this recipe, and keep the extra dough on hand to make these over and over!
