Light buttery crispy crackly chewy pretty and delicious all describe this cookie. I used chocolate covered candy coated sunflower seeds and the optional coconut which made these especially pretty and different. I also added 1/2 teaspoon of salt to heighten flavor. I refrigerated my dough about an hour used a small cookie scoop not bothering to flatten them at all and found they spread just the right amount - not too flat not too poofy. Nice balance of flavors between the oatmeal sunflower seeds and coconut. I would have to call this a nearly perfect cookie. I dare you to eat just one!
I made these cookies with whole wheat flower and they turned out great! I also left out the coconut. I brought them to work and they were a hit!
Yum...I love sunflower seeds and oatmeal cookies and this is a great mixture of both...I went a bit further I added mini chocolate chips and turned them into a bar cookie...it is a great easy way to get a great cookie and takes less time...Baked approx 20 minutes...depends on your oven. Baked the bar cookie on a extra large professional bakers sheet and covered with aluminum foil inverted when cool..and peeled off the alumimun foil...lots of bars..THANKS!
These are great! 4 stars because they are a little on the dry side. I feel like they could use some olive oil more butter or something? I added 1 cup raisins & 1 cup very finely chopped sunflower seeds. I used Amish vanilla extract which gives it a nice rich flavor. My children love these and I don't feel as guilty about the sugar and fat when the "healthy" ingredients far outway the "unhealthy". Sunflower seeds and whole oats are so beneficial to our health and I think most parents would find it hard to get their child to eat a handful of sunflower seeds alone! Great recipe. Will make again next time adding some extra virgin olive oil.
Many people tried these cookies and everyone thought they were awesome! I used 1 c. whole wheat flour and added a bit of ground flax. Will make again for sure.
The perfect cookie. Everyone loved these. They are slightly chewy a little crispy on the outside and the buttery nutty flavor is delicious. Followed the recipe including the optional coconut (I will include it next time again) except used fall colored chocolate covered sunflower seeds. These were gone in one day and hubby and all the kids have asked for them again. Thanks for sharing!
excellent! I used salted roasted sunflower seeds and they add such a delicious and different crunch. The second batch I made I added m&ms. I can see all sorts of yummy additions...all very good. Easy to make too.
I made these cookies to use up a bag of sunflower seeds I had purchased for another recipe. Usually my family dislikes nuts and seeds but they loved these cookies! Next time I may try adding raisins as suggested or some other type of dried fruit.
Good cookie. Slightly chewy inside. Crunchy outside. Very healthy.
These were okay but it could be b/c I used lowfat butter and Splenda in them. I might try again but I will try it with the real stuff.
