Loaded Oatmeal Cookies

I'm always looking for new recipes for great cookies. Here's a nice Oatmeal Cookie that's loaded with  additional ingredients. I have a new, original recipe that I'll be entering in the Dallas Morning News/Central Market Holiday Cookie Contest this year called The 12 Days of Christmas. It's another Loaded Cookie. I'll post it sometime in November.
