FOR DOUGH: In a large bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until creamy.
Beat in eggs and vanilla. In another bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, all- purpose flour, wheat germ, salt and baking soda; gradually add to butter mixture, blending thoroughly.
Cover dough tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until easy to handle (at least 1 hour) or until the next day.
Meanwhile, prepare filling of your choice; set aside.
