The good folks at Food Network shared Paula Deen’s secret “Loaded Oatmeal Cookie” recipe Saturday, December 3, 2011, as Day 3 of their “12 Days of Cookies” campaign. As part of a 12-day series, Food Network celebrity chefs rolled up their sleeves and cranked up their ovens in order to get these segments out in time for Christmas baking.
Ina Garten, Alton Brown, Guy Fieri, Bobby Flay, Giada De Laurentiis, Anne Burrell, and many other big name chefs, are busy posting daily recipes for their secret and most popular Christmas cookies; Soft Sugar Cookie Recipe, Gingerbread Cookies, Shortbread Cookies, Snickerdoodles, Mexican Wedding Cookies, Pecan Butter Balls, Chocolate Crackles, Rum Balls, Peanut Butter Blossoms, Thumbprints and many more.
Paula Deen shared with Food Network fans, “Nothing says love and holiday wishes like homemade cookies.”
Not surprisingly, Paula Deen starts off her “Loaded Oatmeal Cookies” recipe with butter. Not only is there butter in the cookies, but Paula tops off the scrumptious sugar cookies with Brown Butter Icing as well! By “LOADED,” Paula means packed with delicious spices and other goodies. The moist oatmeal cookies get their zing from ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice. Then they’re loaded with raisins, walnuts, and of course, oatmeal.
