Time 1h20m

Yield 10 to 20 biscuits

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups stone-ground whole-wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup powdered or dry milk
1/2 cup quick-cooking oatmeal (not instant), plus extra for sprinkling

2 tablespoons toasted wheat germ
1 extra-large egg, lightly beaten
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the two flours, the powdered milk, oatmeal, peanut butter and wheat germ. With the mixer on low speed, add the extra-large egg and 1 cup of water and mix just until it forms a slightly sticky ball.

PEANUT BUTTER WHEAT GERM COOKIES



Peanut Butter Wheat Germ Cookies image

I've adapted this from an old newspaper recipe clipping (source unknown), likely from the 1970's when wheat germ was a miracle ingredient. I've substituted brown rice flour for all-purpose flour as I prefer this texture and flavour variation, but you could just as easily revert to the original with good results. The original also called for 1 c. wheat germ, which I've halved and added 1/2 c. spelt flour, but this is a highly adaptable and forgiving recipe so feel free to experiment depending on what you have on hand. I recommend pure peanut butter (peanuts as only ingredient) rather than the soybean oil, sugar and salt-laden popular brands.

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Yield 24-36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup brown rice flour
3/4 cup quick oats
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup spelt flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Beat butter and peanut butter with sugar, then beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually beat in dry ingredients. Form into balls on cookie sheet (ungreased, preferably with baking parchment) of whatever size you like and flatten to about half the ball thickness- use the typical criss-cross fork pattern if you like a traditional look. Bake at 350 degrees Farenheit for 8-10 minutes, watching carefully to check degree of browning, and remove to racks for cooling.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies.
  • Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. This is especially important for the dry ingredients, as too much or too little can affect the texture of the cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the correct temperature. If the oven is too hot, the cookies will brown too quickly and may burn. If the oven is too cool, the cookies will not cook through.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Peanut Butter Wheat Germ Cookies are a delicious and healthy snack that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their combination of peanut butter, wheat germ, and honey, these cookies are a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. So next time you are looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, give Peanut Butter Wheat Germ Cookies a try!
