Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line cookie pans with parchment or silicone mats. Make sure butter is softened to room temperature.
- 2. Blend together the butter, honey or sorghum, eggs, and vanilla. Stir together the flour, soda, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture. Fold in the oats, sunflower seeds, and coconut.
- 3. Drop by tablespoons 2" apart on prepared baking sheets. If desired, press about 1/2 teaspoon additional sunflower seeds on top of cookies as decoration, flattening cookies slightly.
- 4. Bake at 350° about 12-15 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool on pans about 3 minutes; then remove to wire rack to finish cooling.
Tips:
- Use a food processor to grind the sunflower seeds. This will help to create a smooth and consistent batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at a low temperature (325°F) for a longer period of time. This will help to prevent the cookies from burning.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
Conclusion:
Sunflower seed cookies are a delicious and healthy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to suit your own taste preferences. Whether you like them chewy or crispy, with chocolate chips or nuts, sunflower seed cookies are sure to be a hit!
