  3. In another bowl, combine flours, baking soda, salt, and wheat germ together and then add to the creamed butter mixture.
  4. Stir in oats then stir in chocolate chips.
  5. Sample a few spoonfuls to ensure cookie dough tastes yummy then drop by teaspoonful onto a lightly greased cookie sheet (or line with silpat).
