Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, rye flour, cornmeal, millet flour, barley flour, quinoa flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. The dough will be dense and slightly sticky.
If desired, fold in the chopped nuts and dried cranberries or raisins for added texture and flavor.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly soft, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve your Old Fashion 7 Grain Cookies with a cold glass of milk, a warm cup of tea, or as an on-the-go treat.
