For a nuttier flavor, toast the rolled oats in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes before adding them to the dough.
If you don't have dried cherries or cranberries, you can substitute other dried fruits like raisins, chopped dates, or dried blueberries.
For a vegan version, use a plant-based butter alternative and ensure your brown sugar is processed without bone char.
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
