How to Make Whole Wheat And Peanut Butter Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the wheat germ.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  7. Place the balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Use a fork to flatten each cookie ball, creating a criss-cross pattern.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
