Method

In a very large mixing bowl, beat butter and shortening with an electric mixer, on medium to high speed, 30 seconds. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder and baking soda then beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in eggs, milk and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much flour as possible with the electric mixer. Stir in remaining flour with a wooden spoon. Stir in oats, nuts, raisins and wheat germ. Drop dough by rounded teaspoons, 2 inches apart, onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a 375 degree oven, about 8 minutes, or until lightly browned. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool.

 

Notes: To store, place in layers, separated by waxed paper, in an airtight container and cover. Store at room temperature up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
