Sunflower Seed Cookies

   Sunflower seeds and oatmeal, two healthy ingredients that make an awesome cookie.
For those that have an allergy to nuts but like the crunch that they give, this is a perfect recipe.
Easy cookie to make.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups rolled oats
3/4 cups sunflower seeds
1/2 cup raisins(dried cranberries, cranraisins or dates)(optional)

Step1...
   Pre heat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2...

   Cream the 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 3/4 cup light brown sugar, 1 large egg and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until very well blended.

Step 3..


    Add the 3/4 cup flour,1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt,(unless the sunflower seeds are salted, then don't add salt).
Add the 1-1/2 cups rolled oatmeal and 3/4 cups sunflower seeds and 1/2 cups raisins, if using. Blend well.
I usually chill this mixture now for about 15 minutes, it makes the dough easier to work with.

Step 4...

   Drop the dough by teaspoons 2 inches apart, on an un-greased cookie sheet.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly brown. Don't over bake. They will be soft at first, but will firm up as they cool.

Step 5...

Store in your cookie jar.Makes about 2-1/2 dozen cookies.

Tip; the dough or the baked cookies freeze well. Store in marked heavy duty freezer bags for up to 3 months.
