HARRIET'S WHEAT GERM COOKIES



Harriet's Wheat Germ Cookies image

Very tasty homestyle cookies. This recipe is from my college housemother. There is lots of fiber in here to offset the guilt of the sugar and fat. I use wholewheat pastry flour, but you can use the flour of your choice - it is not critical to the outcome. The chocolate chips and flax are optional. You will need a strong arm to mix the dough - I recommend a stand mixer.
