Savory oat breakfast cookies with wheat germ, cheddar and crumbled bacon. The recipe makes three dozen.

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup butter softened
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup toasted wheat germ
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 bacon strips cooked and crumbled

Directions

  • Beat the butter and sugar together in a bowl until creamy.
  • Mix in the egg and vanilla well.
  • Stir the flour, baking soda and salt together, then add to the creamed mixture and mix well.
  • Stir in the oats and wheat germ.
  • Fold in the cheese and bacon.
  • Drop rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake at 350° for 15-17 minutes, until light brown.

Notes

Prep 25 min., bake 15 min. Safety: wheat germ goes rancid quickly (refrigerate it); cookies with bacon and cheese should be refrigerated rather than kept at room temperature for long.
