Preparation

Step 1

- Cream sugars, butter & shortening; then add eggs, vanilla.
- Add oats & wheat germ, then rest of dry ingredients after mixing.

- Form dough into a long 2x2 or 3x3 inch square mold with saran wrap, then chill in fridge until cold all the way through - at least a few hours.

For baking:
- Preheat oven at 325 degrees
- Cut squares fairly thick and lay on baking sheet
- Bake 10-12 minutes, depending on how thick you cut. Cookie will not be crispy - very dense and soft. Don't overbake!
