Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookes

Reader contribution to Bon Appetite magazine:

2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1-1/2 cups firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla
2 large eggs
2-1/4 cups whole wheat flour, combined with 2 tsp cinnamon and 1-1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
12 oz chocolate chips
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup chopped walnuts (or not!)
1/3 cup wheat germ
1/3 cups sweetened shredded coconut (hmm?)
1/4 cup honey

In a large bowl, cream the butter, add the brown sugar and vanilla. Beat until fluffy.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, stir in the flour mixture with the salt and combine well.

Stir in the chocolate chips, oats, walnuts, wheat germ, coconut and honey.

Drop heaping teaspoons of the batter 1.5 inches apart on a buttered baking sheet.

Bake in preheated oven at 375 degrees for 10 minutes. Cool on rack. Makes 100 (!?) cookies.
