Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams rolled oats
- 75 grams sunflower seeds (unsalted)
- 50 grams optional: raisins or chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined.
Fold in the rolled oats and sunflower seeds. If using raisins or chocolate chips, stir them in as well.
Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten the dough balls with the back of a spoon or your fingertips to form cookie shapes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look just set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
