How To Make granola-ish cookies
-
Step 1Preheat: Oven to 375 F
-
Step 2Combine: Flour, baking soda, salt, wheat germ, flax seed and sunflower seeds in small bowl.
-
Step 3Beat: 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 4Drop 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.
