It's hard to believe but there is no chocolate in the TWD recipe this week. Michelle of Flourchild decided on Honey-Wheat Cookies, page 81 of Baking: From My Home To Yours by Dorie Greenspan. These cake like cookies were coated with wheat germ and flavored with honey and lemon. The taste and texture of theses cookies were like muffin tops, a little firm at the edge but soft and cakey in the center. They were good cookies, but not ones I would rush to make again.
Easy to make, they do require chilling time. Even after several hours of chilling the dough was still soft and sticky.
If you would like the recipe for these tasty cookies, visit Michelle at Flourchild. To see what the other TWD bakers did visit our blog roll.

Lovely photo of these. And guess who just purchased some wheat germ? Maybe it will be my excuse to make these.

Your cookies are really beautiful...I'm off to check out the recipe! :)
I love muffin tops - these looks so soft and yummy! Honey and lemon are some of my favorite flavors.
These sounds so good with the honey flavor! I love muffin tops so I know I would really love these!
Did you use a cookie press for the design on the cookies?

I have never had wheat cookies. Intriguing.
Oh wow... the texture looks perfect! Yum!
i have to say it--if i wanted honey and wheat, i'd eat a slice of bread. :)
you executed this recipe quite nicely, mimi, and your photos are lovely!
You can see the wholesomeness int he cookies. I think I would love them....with maple syrup in place of the honey. Anyhow, I like!
Oooohhh YUM!!!

Love the forked look to your cookies, they look like sand dollars. Really great photos!
Hi Mimi,

Thank you sweet friend for the giggle...I needed that after having my first ever blogger attack which has really left me scratching my head!
Thank goodness for sweet kind souls like you!
Love and hugs,

So if cookies have wheat, does that mean you can eat more b/c they're healthier?
The cookies look very healthy with those specks of germ. Great photo too.
I wanted to answer your question: mastic is a flavoring added to most desserts in Lebanese pastry especially ice-cream; it is also used in other countries of the eastern mediterranean like Turkey and Greece; actually, it is a small bag or jar, in it there are small clear pebbles and you crush them with sugar to obtain a distinct perfume. These come from the sap of a bush on Greece. I will explain it in a post later.
oh wow great cookies I think your right maybe I didn't get the right cut of meat
You must have posted this after I visited your blog! Beautiful photos. You cookies look fabulous!
What? No chocolate? Still, nice photos of the cookies, Mimi. And they look good....sorry you weren't crazy about them. I'm not sure I'd want a wheat germ covered cookie either because I don't like wheat germ! But they LOOK good. ;)
What lovely photos! And you are so right about these tasting almost like muffin tops. :D
They may not have tasted very good but the pictures tell a different story. Great photography.
j'en croquerai volontiers un avec une bonne tasse de thé chaud, excellent
bonne journée
I love the patterns on the tops of your cookies, they make the cookies look so elegant and beautiful. The last photo of the inside shot is also very wonderful. Need to make these again.
These look fabulous....beautiful pictures. I would love some with a hot cup of tea now!
Love your description that they tasted like muffin tops! Reminds me of Seinfeld!
I know I'm not the first to say this but, MAN...your pictures are so pretty! Very nice.
is exactly the kind of recipes that I like very much ... I note immediately into the weekend ...

No chocolate?! I want these!
They look delicious! I'm not a huge chocolate lover so I know I would love these. The recipe is a keep and your photos are gorgeous!
They sound interesting with their wheat germ crust and look good.
