Yes.  You heard right. Loaded Oatmeal Cookies!

Loaded Oatmeal Cookies

When you hear the words loaded and cookies in the title of a recipe do you get as excited as I do?

When I asked my Mom to pass another dessert recipe my way for the blog this is what she sent me. 

I mean that’s a pretty great Mom, right? Growing up my Mom always made the best homemade cookies.

Hands down. My friends and I could always count on a good homemade cookie waiting in the cookie jar after school.

My favorite cookie has always been a really chewy oatmeal and raisin cookie but those might have taken a backseat to this fully loaded version.

Cranberries. Chocolate Chips. Coconut. Raisins. Oatmeal. Come ON NOW! Everything I like in a cookie all rolled into one wonderful recipe.

Since I can’t have my Mom’s Loaded Oatmeal Cookies in person, I will just recreate these at my house and pretend we are sharing them over a glass of milk and good conversation.

Food is good for that, right?

Notes

When I make oatmeal cookies I like them to be a little bit chewy. I have noticed that when the edges just start to get golden is the time to pull the cookies out. You might think they aren’t done yet but they are!
