Ingredients

• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal
• 1 cup cereal flakes (corn, bran, oat, etc.)
• 3/4 bag of butterscotch morsels (butterscotch chips)
• 1 cup wheat germ

Directions

Preheat oven to 350° F.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and baking powder. Set aside. In an electric mixer bowl, combine butter, egg, vanilla and sugar and beat until creamy. On low speed, gradually add flour mixture until well-blended (stop once to scrape sides and bottom of bowl to incorporate all ingredients). Remove bowl from electric mixer and manually stir in wheat germ, coconut, oatmeal, butterscotch chips and cereal flakes. Roll into 1 1/4-inch balls and place on a cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Bake for 15 minutes or until cookies turn a light golden brown color. (Tip: If you prefer a chewier cookie, remove from oven 2-3 minutes earlier.)
