I see there is another recipe similar to this on here, but it is a bit more complicated than mine, calls for more ingredients and is a bit harder to make. So I thought I'd post my own version too, since I happen to be quite fond of it! Found this in my mom's Feed Me I'm Yours cookbook, 1978. Great cookie for kids - chalk full of whole grain, fruit and protein!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup oatmeal, uncooked
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup powdered milk
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons milk
1 -2 cup raisins
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Cream butter until smooth.
3. Add peanut butter, sugar, egg an vanilla; beat well.
4. In a separate bowl combine flour, wheat germ, dry milk, baking powder and baking soda.
5. Add the dry infredients to the wet and stir well.
6. Add milk, oats and raisins and mix.
7. On a greased cookie sheet place a heaping spoonful of dough and spread it into a circle leaving an inch or more between cookies.
8. Sprinkle with sesamee seeds, if desired, and press into dough.
9. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
10. Allow cookies to cool before removing as they are very fragile while warm.
