These delightful cookies are packed with wholesome oats and crunchy sunflower seeds, creating a sunny treat perfect for any time of day.
Ingredients
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
optional to taste shredded coconut
Method
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, beat together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter until creamy and light.
Add in eggs one by one, ensuring to mix thoroughly after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually mix this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Gently fold in rolled oats and sunflower seeds, and consider adding shredded coconut for a tropical twist.
Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them out to allow for spreading during baking.
Bake for approximately 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
