READER'S COMMENT:
"These are so wonderful. I added in about 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut. I also didn't have wheat germ. I should have cut down on the sugar, they are so sweet. But they are very good. I think I could cut the sugar down to 1/2 cup and use...

Preparation

  1. Position racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 375°F.
  2. Whisk flour, wheat germ, baking soda, salt and ground ginger in a small bowl. Whisk egg, brown sugar, oil and vanilla in a large bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients; stir to combine. Add oats, chocolate, blueberries and crystallized ginger; stir just to combine. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto 2 ungreased baking sheets, 1 1/2 inches apart.
  3. Bake the cookies until puffed and barely golden around the edges, switching the pans back to front and top to bottom halfway through, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on the pans for 2 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Notes

  • Make Ahead Tip: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
  • Tip: Dried cranberries or cherries will also work in place of blueberries; all can be found, along with crystallized ginger, in the baking, dried fruit or produce sections of many supermarkets and natural-foods stores.
