Directions
Preheat oven to 375 F. Take out two cookie sheets and set aside. Mix together margarine and the brown sugar with a pastry blender or electric mixer. Add whole egg, egg whites, vanilla, and rind, and beat by hand or mix thoroughly with electric mixer.
Stir in flour and mix thoroughly, then add rolled oats, sunflower seed, sesame seed, wheat germ, and bran flakes, and blend well. Fold in raisins, coconut, and nuts. Make cinnamon/sugar mixture by blending the granulated sugar and the cinnamon in a small mixing bowl.
Scoop out dough with a tablespoon and roll into balls with your hands. Roll in sugar/cinnamon mixture, place on cookie sheet, and mash flat with the bottom of a glass. Bake until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool cookie sheets on wire racks 2 to 3 minutes, then remove cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
