Notes

Some of my favorite mix-ins are chocolate chips and dried cherries. Other ideas are Reese’s Pieces, M&Ms, dried cranberries and white chocolate chips, or the classic oatmeal and raisins. If you’re going to go with dried fruit, I would add a teaspoon or two of cinnamon to bring out the  flavors.
