PEANUT BUTTER WHEAT GERM COOKIES



Peanut Butter Wheat Germ Cookies image

I've adapted this from an old newspaper recipe clipping (source unknown), likely from the 1970's when wheat germ was a miracle ingredient. I've substituted brown rice flour for all-purpose flour as I prefer this texture and flavour variation, but you could just as easily revert to the original with good results. The original also called for 1 c. wheat germ, which I've halved and added 1/2 c. spelt flour, but this is a highly adaptable and forgiving recipe so feel free to experiment depending on what you have on hand. I recommend pure peanut butter (peanuts as only ingredient) rather than the soybean oil, sugar and salt-laden popular brands.

Time 20m

Yield 24-36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup brown rice flour
3/4 cup quick oats
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup spelt flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Beat butter and peanut butter with sugar, then beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually beat in dry ingredients. Form into balls on cookie sheet (ungreased, preferably with baking parchment) of whatever size you like and flatten to about half the ball thickness- use the typical criss-cross fork pattern if you like a traditional look. Bake at 350 degrees Farenheit for 8-10 minutes, watching carefully to check degree of browning, and remove to racks for cooling.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies light and airy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cookies from becoming tough.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients gradually. This will help to prevent the cookies from becoming dry and crumbly.
  • Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cookies bake evenly.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help to prevent the cookies from sticking together.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter wheat germ cookies are a delicious and nutritious snack or dessert. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. These cookies are a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. They are also a good source of antioxidants, which can help to protect your cells from damage.
