I was very eager to make this recipe but I was a bit disappointed. There’s a lot going between the oats, cherries, chocolate and cardamom. Cardamom can be a divisive flavor so I’d cut it in half or use cinnamon instead. I used dried cherries which I think was a good decision. You should bake these on the darker side – maybe another 3 – 5 minutes otherwise it comes out very cakey. I think I would actually take out the chocolate chips and embrace the cherry & cardamom if I were to bake again.

They do turn grey/green as others mentioned unless using dried cherries. I used only 1/2 cup of brown sugar and it was very sweet. Don’t forget there’s a full cup of chocolate chips. They also needed 17 minutes in the oven. Good but I don’t think I will make again.

In reply to Samia. No, I don’t think it is the cardamom. I used the whole tsp ( slightly heaping, cause I love cardamom) and mine look just like the picture.

Batter is delish! Had a hard time getting these in the oven without eating all the dough! Cookies do not spread much so I was able to squeeze the last bit of dough onto 2nd cookie sheet for 2 extra cookies. I used a cookie scoop and leveled them off to keep baking uniform (not always the best at doing that 😚.) made 34 cookies. They were a hit with the hubs.

In reply to KC in Colorado. KC, I'm sorry the cookies didn't work out for you. This recipe is on my list to remake tomorrow, so I will do that and let you know how they turned out.

I am at 6400 ft altitude but the only adjustment I made for that was to add 1 TBL of flour. I used fresh and very ripe cherries. Cookies were not cooked at 10 or 12 or 13. minutes but I finally gave up. I think they could have cooked 15 or 16 minutes! Frustrating. They are very “wet” and not a good consistency. I’m going to try freezing them to see if they’re better thawed. A little disappointed as I tend to follow recipes to a T and this one just didn’t work due to times..

Awesome recipe!

I replaced cardamom with vanilla because it’s what I’m used to in baking, but next time I’ll try to be adventurous:) I also used a little less sugar for family members, and I added coconut bc I love that flavour combo but not enough perhaps , I couldn’t taste it in the end.. For me the texture was great, I made them big and underbaked them and they were a little cakey, perfect.
