The truth comes out...plus Cookies!!!

So first off, here is the truth about who REALLY uses the tub...



And now...Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Flax Cookies!!!

Initially I found a similar recipe on BHG, but made some of my own adjustments and they turned out great. You know they're good when your pre-teen students request the recipe for themselves!


1/2 cup butter, soft

1 cup brown sugar

2/3 cup cane sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 cups flour

1 1/2 cups oats

1/2 cup ground flax

1/3 cup wheat germ

As much chocolate chips as you like!

Pre-heat oven to 350. Grease baking sheet.

Use hand blender or mixer to mix butter on low until fluffy. Add sugars and continue to mix. Add cinnamon, baking soda, salt and mix to combine. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Add flour and blend on low. Use a wooden spoon (or your hands like I do) to mix in the oats, flax, and wheatgerm. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Plop onto cookie sheet...I make mine fairly large (maybe 2 tbsp). Bake for 9-11 min (may take longer if you have two cookie sheets in and you might want to rotate the sheets).  I got 30 cookies out of this today, but can stretch it to 36 easily. Enjoy!
