Wheat Germ Cookies from King Arthur Flour
As you can see above Gingerbread Man is weighted down big time with cookies at the moment! 😉 That didn’t last long though, these cookies disappeared fast from his ample belly!
I’m a big fan of wheat germ in all kinds of baking.Â
Wheat germ is a concentrated source of iron, B and E vitamins and protein. Also contains several trace minerals. Tastes great too.
What’s not to love? 🙂
I’ve made these Wheat Germ Cookies from the King Arthur flour site many times and they are consistently delish.
And oh so easy to make. The “hit” of nutmeg makes all the difference, don’t leave it out!Â
As with most recipes, I did a bit of personal tweaking:
-I toasted the wheat germ slightly, before using.
-Added a 1/2 C. of toasted coconut to the mix.
-I rounded the whole wheat flour to 1 C.
-Cut back on the sugar to 1/2 C.
-Made larger cookies, about 30.
All optional changes  the recipe is good just as given on their site too.
Happy Baking!
Sweets for Your Sweetie! Happy Valentine’s Day
February…..
The month in Canada that usually heralds the last, cold blast of winter. On the plus side, February is also the month of ♥ and Valentine’s Day! And what better way to celebrate than to make some oh so easy, homemade chocolates for you and those you love.
I have quite a collection of chocolate heart boxes from over the years. Some so beautifully decorated, they are like works of art. I find it hard to discard/recycle these. So much better to fill them up again, with yummy chocolates from the kitchen. 😉
The following is a recipe from my cookbook: Not Just for Vegetarians that was also featured in my craft book: A Year of Crafts, years ago as a Valentine’s project. They are very easy to make but still decadent and delish.Â
