Sunflower Oatmeal Cookies, by Toybeme  “a Sweet oatmeal cookie with crunchy toasted sunflower seeds.  This cookie is a family favourite.  It calls for coconut, but I like them better without the coconut.” Ingredients 1 cup white sugar1 cup packed brown sugar1 cup butter, softened2 eggs1 teaspoon vanilla extract2 cups all-purpose flour1/2 teaspoon baking powder1 teaspoon baking soda2 cups rolled oats 1 cup roasted/salted sunflower seeds1 cup flaked coconut (optional) Methodpreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) In a large bowl, cram together the white sugar,brown sugar,and butter until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder,baking soda; stir into the creamed mixture until just blended. Mix in the rolled oats and sunflower seeds. Stir in the coconut if desired. Drop dough by heaping teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Leave room for spreading!

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cookies begin to brown around the edges. Allow the cookie to cool on the sheets before removing to wire racks to cool completely.  Enjoy!
