1 cup Whole Wheat Flour, Or Other Whole Grain Flour
1-1/2 cup Rolled Oats, Old Fashioned
1/2 cups Wheat Germ

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients. Stir into the dry ingredients. Mix in chopped chocolate and walnuts. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet; flatten slightly. Bake for 15 minutes or until done. Cool on pans for 1 minute, then carefully transfer to cooling racks to cool. These will firm up a bit as they cool. Yields approximately 3 dozen cookies.

I made these a bit bigger and the 15 minutes was plenty, so if you make them smaller, just watch them, as they probably will cook faster. Also, if you use the walnuts, they do make it more difficult for the cookies to hold together. I ended up just shaping some dough into rounds in my hand, which worked well.
