How could something so tasty be so good for you? Packed full of nuts, grains, and whole-wheat goodness, these dairy-free cookies are tasty treats that can be enjoyed at any time of the day.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a couple of baking sheets with parchment (first choice); or grease them (second choice).
In a medium bowl, combine the oats, wheat germ, flax, dried fruit, nuts, sunflower seeds, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
Combine the egg, honey, and vanilla and stir into the dry ingredients until fully combined.
Scoop by the tablespoonful onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with the palm of your hand.
Bake the cookies for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges begin to darken slightly. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool. Store well-wrapped at room temperature for several days; freeze for longer storage.
Yield: 1 1/2 dozen cookies.
