Chocolate Chip Wheat Germ Cookies
These cookies blend wheat germ and quick oats into a classic chocolate chip cookie base, adding a nutty texture and slight wholesome flavor. The combination of all-purpose flour, butter, sugars, vanilla, pecans, and semi-sweet chocolate chips creates a chewy, slightly crunchy cookie with bursts of chocolate and nutty pecans. Baking at 350°F until lightly golden yields balanced texture and rich flavor.
