When we first moved to Victoria in the winter of 1994, my momma made a bunch of different cookie recipes, took her favourite ingredients, and came up with these delicious cookies. When we moved to our downtown apartment, I once had a lemonade and cookie stand on the corner of Government and Johnson, and these sold much better than the lemonade.We tend to freeze them so they last longer[in theory-in high school I used to eat frozen cookies for breakfast on the bus].
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees C.
Cream together in a large bowl: 1 cup softened margarine/butter,¾ cup white sugar,¾ cup brown sugar, 2 eggs and 1 tsp vanilla.
In a separate, smaller bowl, mix together 1 ½ cups all purpose flour, 2 ½ cups rolled oats[not instant!],1/3 cup wheat germ[this is optional],1 tsp. baking powder,1 tsp baking soda, and ½ ts salt.
Add the two mixtures together, mix well and add ¾ cup chocolate chips. My momma makes about 32 cookies, I found it's very easy to halve. Bake 10-12 minutes, do not overcook them! They should still be slightly doughy. Transfer to a rack to cool.
