Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter

- 1 piece Large egg
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup White chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup Raw sunflower seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Beat in the vanilla extract and the egg, mixing until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the white chocolate chips and raw sunflower seeds to the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
