Oat-Nut-Cherry-Chip Granola Breakfast Cookies

Yep, its cookies for breakfast! Yahoo.  I love it when that happens.  I also love anything oaty, nutty, dried fruity. I’m weird like that.  It doesn’t even fit my personality but I am a true worshiper of what I call “trail food”.  The problem is, I will mindlessly eat these types of foods because I think, “hey this is healthy”.  And it…
