Well well well… What do we have here? Maraschino cherry white chocolate oatmeal cookies are what we’ve got today! Oh yeah you heard me right, these cookies are full of white chocolate and maraschino cherries!!! I’m officially in love with them… So yummy!!

I’m not going to lie – I’m eating one right now with a glass of cold milk. They’re awesome. Nom nom nom.

I love oats. I have a weakness for WHITE chocolate. And I adore Maraschino cherries. What could be better than combining these three components into one amazing cookie? At this moment, nothing. I’m just enjoying this delicious goodness…

Deliciously soft, chewy and totally moreish… Mmmm… The rolled oats give a really nice texture to them.

These cookies are full of chocolate chips. And yes, they are filled with cherries! White chocolate and cherries are a match made in heaven! So good!! And they’re pretty simple. I think you will find them uncontrollably addicting. 😉
