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?

Sounds like you have an amazing mom! 🙂 I love my cookies chewy and these are just up my alley!
Thanks Tina! Chewy cookies are the best!
I love the look of these cookies and will definitely be making them. Thanks
Thanks! I hope you enjoy them.
Oatmeal cookies are one of my favorites!! And then adding in all of these extra goodies makes them 10x better :).
Agreed! Have a great weekend Hannah!
Soft oatmeal cookies filled with juicy sultanas are my favorite cookie. I want to try these and see how I feel. 🙂
I like my cookies chewy, they are so much better that way.
Moms are always the best, aren’t they? These wonderful looking cookies have everything I like! Would love to dip one of it in my tea now!
Moms are the best! And so is their cooking. 🙂 These would go great with a warm cup of tea.
WAIT A SECOND.
WHY HAVE I NOT BEEN PUTTING COCONUT IN MY OATMEAL COOKIES?!?!?!
You just revolutionized my life. This is serious.
You will love it! Coconut makes everything taste better (in my opinion!!). 🙂
Half the fun is eating the cookie dough!
Um yes it is!! I am more of a cookie dough person and Mike is more of the cookie person. 🙂 Maybe this weekend we can make some cookies!
It’s funny because I used to be such a cookie purist. If it’s a chocolate chip cookie, it should only have chocolate chips mixed in. No nuts. If it’s a peanut butter cooker, it should only have peanut butter… no crazy m&m’s for me. But as I’ve gotten older, I’m like, “What was I thinking?!” I love loaded cookies, and it’s making my mouth water just thinking about these. 🙂
That is funny! I think you would like these even though it seems like a lot of flavors all mixed together they taste great in a cookie!
Yum! I don’t know what else to say that describes how I feel about these! They look so chewy and amazing. My mom always had cookies in the cookie jar for us as kids too, sign of a good mom!
I know right! Moms are good for that. 🙂
I want one!! These look and sound amazing! Vin would LOVE these, I mean LOOOOVEEEEE these. Love mom recipes as well – they always seem to get it right. 🙂
I know! Moms are the best, and the best cooks. If you were at Touhy today I would share one with you. You would love them.
