The Best Oatmeal Cookies Ever
- 1 c margarine or softened butter
- 1 c cane sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 c all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup spelt flour (whole wheat or all-purpose if you don't have)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ c wheat germ (substitute with spelt if you don't have)
- 1½ c rolled oats (I used quick cooking oats)
- 1 cup semi-sweet Chocolate Chips (or carob chips)
- Cream margarine and brown sugar on medium speed in a large mixing bowl or with a handheld beater (or by hand if you must).
- Beat in egg and vanilla, whip until creamy and lightly fluffy.
- In another bowl, combine flours, baking soda, salt, and wheat germ together and then add to the creamed butter mixture.
- Stir in oats then stir in chocolate chips.
- Sample a few spoonfuls to ensure cookie dough tastes yummy then drop by teaspoonful onto a lightly greased cookie sheet (or line with silpat).
- Flatten gently by patting a bit until 1/4? thickness.
- Bake 350° F for 10 minutes.
