3/4 cup of whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup of unsalted butter (at room temp),
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups oatmeal
1 cup cheddar cheese
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cooked bacon bits

Combine flour, baking soda, salt, mix well and set aside. Cream together butter, sugar, egg and vanilla. Add flour to wet mixture and mix well. Stir in oats, cheese, wheat germ, and bacon (if mixture seems a little dry, I add a tablespoon or two of warm water)

Bake at 350 for 16 to 22 minutes. Makes about 40 to 50 treats. They can be kept in an airtight container for a week, or in the fridge for up to three weeks and also may be kept in the freezer for up to three months.
