Ingredients

• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, very loosely packed
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
• 1 cup unsweetened coconut
• 1 cup wheat germ
• 1/2 cup nuts, chopped
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup flax seed meal

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. 2

   Cream together the oil, both sugars, eggs and vanilla.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.

4. 4

   Add the flour mixture to the oil mixture and mix well.

5. 5

   Add the oatmeal, coconut, wheatgerm, nuts, flaxmeal and chocolate chips, mixing well after each addition.

8. 8

   Cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before removing the cookies to a cooling rack.
