Instructions
- Mix the oats, flour, wheat germ, baking soda, salt, and coconut flakes in a medium bowl. Whisk until mixed in.
- In a separate bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, date syrup, egg, and vanilla, and continue whisking until smooth and creamy.
- Add in the dry ingredients and continue whisking on low speed until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and pecans. Mix well. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Notes
The dough can be prepared in advance and kept in the refrigerator for up to a week in a tight container. To enjoy this cookie the next day, microwave it for 30 seconds or until the chocolate melts.
