It's all about oatmeal this week. Here's an oatmeal cookie recipe that I tried on a whim and it's very good. I didn't have wheat germ, so I replaced it with dried cranberries.
1/2 cup butter (1/4 pound)
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 lightly beaten egg
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup toasted wheat germ
3/4 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup raisins
3/4 cup chopped walnuts or toasted sunflower seeds
Preheat oven to 375F. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, and salt, and beat well.
Stir flour, baking powder, wheat germ, and rolled oats together with a fork. Blend well with other ingredients, adding a tablespoon or more of water if necessary to hold the mixture together.
Place by tablespoonsful on greased cookie sheets. Flatten them slightly. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
Makes 24.
