Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter
1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
⅓ cup molasses
⅓ cup smooth peanut butter
2 eggs
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup toasted wheat germ
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup raisins
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

Cream the butter, sugar, molasses, and peanut butter in a large bowl. Blend in the eggs and vanilla. Mix the flour, wheat germ, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Stir the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture, until evenly blended.
Stir in the oats, raisins, choc chips, and nuts. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Shape dough into large balls using 1/4 cup of dough per cookie. Place on greased cookie sheets, leaving 3 inches between them. Flatten slightly with a fork. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes. When done, the tops will still be soft to the touch. Cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool.
