BREAKFAST COOKIES

I made these cookies big, because I am a lover of big cookies.  You could wrap these in waxed paper and place in freezer and grab one when you are headed out. I used all of the ingredients in the recipe.

Breakfast Cookies

1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp water or orange juice
1 tsp vanilla
6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips or carob
1/2 cup flaked coconut
2 tbsp wheat germ
1/2 cup chopped nuts
2 1/2 cups oatmeal
Optional:
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup sunflower seeds

In a large bowl add the butter and sugars, mix well. Add the lightly beaten egg, orange juice or water, vanilla and continue to mix. Add the flours, baking soda and salt. Fold in the remaining ingredients including the optional ingredients if you want. Using your cookie scoop, scoop batter onto parchment lined baking sheets and bake at 350 degrees for about 12-15 minutes. I used my scoop then I pressed the cookie dough down a little with my fingers. Makes a large amount of cookies, you could also press this mixture into a large rimmed baking sheet that you have sprayed with cooking spray. Bake then cut into desired size.
