Cherry Macadamia Oatmeal Cookies

I started from this recipe for Oatmeal Cranberry cookies.

Ingredients:
2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 2/3 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup quick oats
2/3 cup dried cherries, chopped
1/2 cup macadamia nuts, chopped

Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350 F

Mix applesauce and sugar throughly. Add eggs and vanilla, mix well. In a separate bowl mix flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Stir dry ingredient mixture into wet ingredient mixture. Stir in oats. Fold in cherries and nuts.

Drop spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet (if you used butter instead of applesauce, don't grease the cookie sheet) and smash them down a bit, these cookies don't seem to spread too much.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. It's okay if the cookies still look a bit moist, that's just the applesauce.
