1 c. vegetable oil
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. coconut
1 1/2 c. finely chopped pecans
1/2 c. wheat germ
3 1/2 to 4 c. oatmeal
Pecan halves for garnish, if desired

Combine oil and sugars; add eggs, flour, salt, soda, and vanilla. Mix well. Add coconut, pecans, wheat germ, and oatmeal to make stiff dough. Add oatmeal gradually so dough isn't too stiff or dry.

Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheet lines with aluminum foil. Bake 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees. For chewy cookies, bake the minimum time. For crispier cookies, bake the maximum time.
