Healthier Chocolate Chip Cookies

• 1 cup butter
• 1 12 cups brown sugar (I use 3/4 c brown sugar & 3/4 c sucanat)
• 1 12 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 1 34 cups flour (I use 1 c White Wheat & 3/4 c Whole Wheat)
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips, use the best you can find
• 14 cup wheat germ
• 14 cup coconut (if you have it or like it)
• 14 cup flax seed

1. Cream butter & brown sugars.
2. Add vanilla & eggs until just combined.
3. Stir in dry ingredients & chips.
4. These cookies work best if you refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
5. The people in your house are happiest when you make a double batch (need a professional KitchenAid or similar to do this).
6. Bake @ 350 for 8 minutes.
7. They will not look done.
8. Take them out anyway.
