1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. peanut butter
1 c. dark brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 1/4 c. sifted unbleached or whole wheat flour
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
2 tbsp. sesame seed (optional)
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 egg white, slightly beaten
1 c. wheat germ

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In medium bowl with electric mixer at medium speed, cream butter with peanut butter, brown sugar and egg until mixture is light and fluffy. Sift flour with baking soda and nutmeg right into butter mixture. Add sesame seed and vanilla; beat at low speed just until combined.

With hands, shape mixture into 1-inch balls. Dip each into egg white, then roll in wheat germ. Place on greased cookie sheets 2-inches apart. Bake 10-12 minutes.
