- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup shortening
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup wheat germ
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup crispy rice cereal
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Cream together white sugar, brown sugar and shortening until fluffy. Stir in the vanilla and eggs. Combine the flour, wheat germ, salt and baking soda; mix into the batter. Stir in crispy rice cereal and chocolate chips. Drop by teaspoonfuls on an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing cookies 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 11 to 13 minutes in the preheated oven, until cookies are light brown at the edges. Cool well before eating as the chocolate can burn your mouth.
