Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Using an electric mixer, cream the butter, peanut butter, sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, followed by the vanilla and the wheat germ.
- Beat in the baking soda, salt and flour, scraping the bowl as needed.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and blend in the granola, pecans, raisins and chocolate chips, mixing only enough to distribute these ingredients.
- Drop the batter by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving ample room for the cookies to spread.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until nicely browned.
- Peanut Butter Trail Mix Cookies will keep in an airtight container for up to five days. Freeze them, wrapped airtight, for up to two months.

Cranberry Oat Squares
This wholesome, satisfying snack is perfect for the lunchbox or after school. Most varieties of seedless jam will work well in the filling, so feel free to use whatever you have on hand, as long as it’s fairly sweet to balance the tart cranberries.
Frosted Molasses Drops
Perfect for the holidays, these tender, chewy cookies combine the bold flavors of ginger and molasses with a delicate lemony glaze. They’re even more delicious on the second day, but they may not last that long.
