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 room temperature ingredients. This helps the ingredients blend together more easily and results in a smoother, more consistent cookie dough.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough, chewy cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough helps the flavors to develop and also makes the dough easier to handle.
- Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough. This ensures that all of the cookies are the same size and shape, which helps them bake evenly.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking can dry out the cookies. The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when they come out of the oven.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This helps the cookies to firm up and also prevents them from sticking together.
Conclusion:
Sunflower seed cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect sunflower seed cookies every time. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
