Coconut Sunflower Seed Cookies
Description
The Coconut Sunflower Seed Cookies start with creaming butter and sugars, then adding coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla for a rich and moist dough. Flour mixed with baking soda and powder is folded in, followed by rolled oats, shredded coconut, and sunflower seeds, which provide chewiness and crunch. The cookies are spooned onto baking sheets and baked until the edges begin to brown.
The combination of coconut and sunflower seeds creates a nutty, slightly sweet taste and a distinctive texture from the shredded coconut and seeds. The oats lend a chewy base and substance that holds the cookie together.
These cookies are a good choice for a snack or dessert, pairing well with milk or tea. The toasted seeds add a roasted flavor that complements the sweetness of coconut and sugars.
It's important to use fresh sunflower seeds to maintain their flavor as they can become stale quickly. Room temperature ingredients help achieve the proper dough consistency for even baking.
