16 Cookies That Are Absolutely Loaded With Add-Ins

There are so many ways to enjoy cookies—from chocolate-studded versions to chewy oatmeal treats, the varieties are endless. Still, what if you don't want to choose between one or the other? These cookies are chock-full of all kinds of mix-ins, using everything from candies to chips.
