Submitted by The Legal Chef

"These are pretty good somewhat nutritious cookies. I adapted this from a recipe I found on Whole Grain Gourmet."

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1⁄4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 4 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1⁄4 cup honey

• 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
• 4 tablespoons toasted wheat germ

• 3⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1⁄3 cup walnuts (toasted)

2. Cream butter and sugar and then add other wet ingredients.
3. Mix dry ingredients (not add ins) and add to the wet with a hand mixer.
4. Add the add ins and mix with a spatula.
5. Drop large spoonsful on a parchment lined baking sheet.
6. Bake for about 10-12 minutes.

Spring PAC 2009: I liked these, but they were much more crumbly than I cared for. The ingredients are healthier than what I originally use in my cookies, but the flavor was still very good.
