White Chocolate Cherry Oatmeal Cookies

I have one last summer dessert recipe to share with you all before I return from my cruise

Remember those Peanut Granola Bites I blogged about a couple weeks ago? I decided to try another version of these crispy bites with almond butter instead peanut for a lighter taste. I also added some more mix-ins, and rolled them into balls for a great crispy cookie.

Enjoy!
