Something sweet for your sweetheart

Here is probably the best oatmeal cookie recipe ever. My friend Anna and I made these a while ago with packages of Cinnamon roll flavored oatmeal and it was amazing! Here is an adaptation of that. Happy Valentines Day!

1cup butter, softened
1cup sugar
1cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1tsp vanilla
2cups flour
1 1/2tsp cinnamon
1/4tsp ground cloves
1/4tsp ground ginger
1/4tsp nutmeg
1tsp baking soda
1tsp salt
3cups quick oats
1/2cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
1/2cup Bing cherries, dried
1/2cup raisins
Preheat oven to 375F.
Cream butter and sugars. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add flour, spices, baking soda, salt and mix. Fold in oats, nuts, cherries and raisins. Bake 12-14 minutes.
Yummers!
