A batch of fresh-baked cookies makes any house smell wonderful (including the White House). A major upgrade over classic oatmeal raisin, these cookies are studded with walnuts and dried cherries for tartness.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

These cookies are delicious! My husband's favorite! I buy dried cherries, place them in warm water to soak. After they are plump, I drain them and let them sit in the colander while I finish assembling the rest of my ingredients. These give the cookies such a good texture and flavor!

These cookies are fantastic! A great combination of flavors and textures. I usually make them with raisins and dark chocolate chips.

These cookies are VERY good! The next time I make them, I'm going to try to make them just as chocolate chunk oatmeal. Either way, EXCELLENT!!

These are fantastic! Delicious variety of flavors and texture. The second time I made them I substituted craisins (easier and cheaper to find) and dark chocolate ( to compensate for the extra sweetness of the craisins). This recipe has been inducted into my cookie collection.
