Winter Energy Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup unsalted butter
    1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
    1/3 cup molasses
    1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
    2 eggs
    1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1 cup toasted wheat germ
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    2 cups rolled oats
    1 cup raisins
    1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
    1 cup chopped walnuts
Preparation
    Cream the butter, sugar, molasses, and peanut butter in a large bowl. Blend in the eggs and vanilla. Mix the flour, wheat germ, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Stir the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture, until evenly blended.
    Stir in the oats, raisins, choc chips, and nuts. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
    Shape dough into large balls using 1/4 cup of dough per cookie. Place on greased cookie sheets, leaving 3 inches between them. Flatten slightly with a fork. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes. When done, the tops will still be soft to the touch. Cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool.
