Okay, friends... i like wheat germ.i buy it all the time. i love to sprinkle it on my oatmeal and add it to my protein shakes. the funny thing about me always having this on hand... is
i grew up in a house with a LOT of wheat germ. my mom was always making crazy shakes and sneaking it into lots of goods. in fact, once i got to college i started buying it for no reason other than i thought you had to have wheat germ in your fridge. :) so now, always have a ton and it was nice to use a full cup of it in a recipe!
this week for my Tuesdays with Dorie baking group, we made Honey-wheat Cookies. The recipe was hosted by Michelle at Flourchild. (you can snag the recipe from her blog.)
but before you head over there. let me tell you how awesome these cookies tasted.
so awesome!
the combination of honey and lemon with the wheat germ was a real winner. they were wholesome, chewy and addictive. the batter was delicious too! i let mine refrigerate overnight and think it really helped the flavors marry.
They were fun to make. I loved rolling them in the wheat germ and then pressing them down with the bottom of a cup. They were so soft! and...aren't they just cute?
based on my pictures, you should gather that they didn't last long. i didn't have time to set up a descent shot because we scarfed 'em down!
I loved these cookies. When I have kids I think these will be the perfect after school snack!
Next week: Toasted Coconut Custard Tart (already made it and it was delightful!)

what a great cookie! I'm going to have to try it.
So glad you liked them! They look great ;) I'm looking forward to the coconut tart too!
I absolutely loved these cookies - they were such a pleasant surprise!
These were fun to make! It sounds as though everyone loved this recipe. :) That dough was quite spectacular too.
Love your wheat germ backstory! I came late to the wheat germ party, but I appreciate it more having made these cookies. Yours are such cute little buttons.
I, unlike you, was not brought up with wheat germ. I told my mom I needed it and she stares at me blankly and then asks why I would want wheat germs. *smacks head* Anywho, I got the ingredients too late to post but I'll be making these out of sheer curiosity. Your cookies look great!
These were yummy cookies, I agree they are the type of sweet I would want my (future) children to eat. You know the treat is well liked when you don't have a chance for a photo shoot!
yes, you can teach your kids to appreciate the wheat germ, too! your cookies look terrific!
I am totally going to try these!! I am a wheat germ fanatic!! I'm always adding to the kids smoothies, oatmeal, granola...
I love the color you got on your cookies, they look perfect. And, I loved these, they were the perfect match with a cup of tea as the lemon and honey were built right into the cookie. What a deal!
These were good, weren't they. They kinda grow on ya.
I also keep wheat germ but didn't grow up on it. It is good in lots of stuff.
Hey Becky....I tried out your recommendation on the Magnolia's vanilla vanilla cupcakes. Yum! I'm posting about it on a craft blog I write for (poppiesatplay.blogspot.com). Hope that's okay! Hope all is well for you and Adam too!
