Toast the wheat germ for a nuttier, more intense flavor. For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of softened butter. Don't overbake! These cookies are best when they're slightly soft in the center. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. (3 minutes)
03
StepBeat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until well combined. (2 minutes)
04
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, wheat germ, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. (1 minute)
05
StepGradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)
06
StepStir in the chopped pecans, flaked coconut, and chopped dates until evenly distributed throughout the dough. (2 minutes)
07
StepDrop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving some space between each cookie. (5 minutes)
08
StepBake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the centers are set. (10 minutes)
09
StepRemove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 1 to 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This allows them to firm up and prevents them from breaking. (2 minutes)
