Ingredients

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup quick oats
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 egg
3/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped pecan
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line a cookie pan with parchment paper or baking mat; set aside.
Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, oats, and wheat germ together; set aside.
In an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars on medium speed until fluffy. Add an egg and vanilla extract. Beat well for 2 minutes.
Add the dry ingredient mixture and stir until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, take 3 tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball. Place cookie balls on a prepared pan, spacing apart about 2-inch in between.
Wet your fingers with water and press down the cookie balls slightly. Bake them in a preheated 350˚F oven for 12-14 minutes. Let the cookies rest on a pan for 2 minutes. Transfer them to a cooling rack and cool completely.
