Sun Flower Cookies Recipe

I'll level with you. I'm calling this the soft recipe, since the cookies are nice and soft. I am working on making them crunchier. It's a completely original recipe, so it's a work in progress. That said, they are actually pretty good, compulsively pop-able. My son loves them and because I use unbleached all purpose flour they are healthier. Why? Unbleached flour is technically classified as a complex carb by bakers! So if you want to feel less guilty making desserts, switch to unbleached! I recommend King Arthur brand. (Big thanks to my hubby, the fabulous baker, for the flour facts!)

Ingredients
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
dash of salt
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
1 tbspn honey
1/2 cup sunflower kernals

Preheat oven to 350.

Quickly grind rolled oats in a coffee grinder or food processor until they are coarse!

In a mixing bowl, cream eggs and better, add sugar and honey. In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients. Slowly add dry ingredients to cream mixture. Stir in sunflower kernals. Roll into balls and place 1 inch apart on no-greased cookie sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes!

Yield 3 dozen.
