Loaded Oatmeal Cookies for an after school snack.

These will soon become your favorite cookie.  You don’t have to be a child to like these Loaded Oatmeal  Cookies.  We had some relatives with us for a week.  Well, in midweek, I had to take time out to back another batch.  Just too easy to take one on the go.

How can you turn a cookie with molasses, whole wheat flour, wheat germ, old fashion  rolled oats and raisins as a bad cookie for you?  You forget there is shortening, pecans, chocolate chips and coconut flavoring.

Cookies are nice to have available when unexpected guests stop by. You do have to remember not to eat them all at once. Cookies are easy to freeze in freeze bags, just don’t tell the family they are in there.
