Momma's wheat germ cookies are good! You'll be giving out this recipe forever! Be sure to leave the cookies on the cookie sheet for at least one minute after removing them from the oven; this allows them to flatten and firm up. Also, make sure you use rolled oats, not instant! Please don't let all the ingredients scare you away from this recipe.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 60 servings

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats

  • 1 cup wheat germ

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 2 cups chopped pecans

  • 1 cup flaked coconut

  • 1 cup chopped pitted dates

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. Beat butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Whisk oats, wheat germ, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl; stir into butter mixture. Stir in pecans, coconut, and dates.
