White Chocolate Tart-cherry Oatmeal Cookies

My father-in-law seems to eat these fastest. That might be because they are delicious. Sweet and tart, with a hint of lemon. Mmmm.

I used this recipe from the food network as the base and adapted by substituting tart, dried, Montmorency cherries for the raisins; and the zest of one lemon for the cinnamon. 

The cherries just perk it up, tangy in contrast to the mellowness of the white chocolate chips. The lemon adds just enough brightness to make these a favorite. 

Chop the tart cherries, as they tend to be quite large. I just halve or cut them into thirds.
