  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 1/4 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1 cup (two sticks) butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 - large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups quick or old-fashioned oats
  • 2/3 cup wheat germ
  • 3 1/4 cups flax seeds (ground or whole, depends on how much texture you like)

How To Make granola-ish cookies

  • Step 1
    Preheat: Oven to 375 F
  • Step 2
    Combine: Flour, baking soda, salt, wheat germ, flax seed and sunflower seeds in small bowl.
  • Step 3
    Beat: Brown sugar, butter and granulated sugar in larger mixer bowl until creamy. Beat in eggs, milk and vanilla extract. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in Oats, morsels and nuts; mix well.
  • Step 4
    Drop by rounded teaspoon onto ungreased baking sheets (I use parchment paper) This batter also works very good if refrigerated overnight-it seems to make the cookies easier to shape.
  • Step 5
    Bake: 10-12 minutes or longer for crispy cookies. Remove onto wire racks to cool.
