- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingertips.
- Bake the Loaded Oatmeal Cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
