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.

Loaded Oatmeal Cookies delicious

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.

yummy Loaded Oatmeal Cookies

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!

Would love to try these for an upcoming party. Does anyone know if they freeze well? I would like to make them ahead of time to ease some stress at party time!

Yes! I have frozen them before and then just thawed them when ready to use and they worked fine!

Yum! A friend suggested these to me and I made them with slight changes. I added a 1/4 of flour to make them a little more plump. I used mini semisweet chocolate chips. Great flavor! Great recipe! This will be my "go to" recipe for Oatmeal cookies now. Thank you for sharing!

Just made these for a church potluck lunch. They are soooooo tasty! I used a different recipe yesterday for oatmeal cookies, and they flattened and got all oozey. These ones held their shape and I'm sure they will go fast! Thank you!
