Gillian’s Famous Oatmeal Cookies

ref=”https://thinktasty1.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/OatmealCookies_Craftsman.jpg”>Oatmeal cookies are a classic, made even better with raisins and maybe chocolate chips. This version takes it a step further, replacing raisins with dried cherries to give the cookies a tang that sets off the sweetness of the brown sugar and chocolate. Walnuts add some crunch. Gillian Kite is one of the innkeepers at the Craftsman Inn in Calistoga, California — right in the Napa Valley. If you’re touring the wine country, you’re invited to “Relax in your plush spa robes and indulge in a nightcap of Madeira with homemade cookies” — like these. If you can’t get away, try them at home.
