Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Have ready a parchment lined baking sheet.
- In a mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamy. Beat in the cinnamon, baking soda and salt, scraping sides of bowl. Add the egg and beat until blended.
- Add the flour and stir until blended, then stir in the oats, flax, wheat germ, cranberries, chocolate and nuts.

Notes
I usually make mine slightly larger than the original. If you use rounded teaspoons you may get up to 30 cookies.
