COOKIES WITH SUNFLOWER SEEDS

I have a lot of memories with them. My mom started doing them in 2015, I know it’s a lot of time. This recipe is also on her blog – najsmaczniejsze.pl, but in Polish – she made them when I was in my first year of school, so a lot of time ago. They are really easy to make, and for me, the smell of them in the oven reminds me of my childhood. 

Like always, ingredients go first, like ladies in the doors.

INGREDIENTS:

150 g blended oat flakes 

100 g sunflower seeds 

100 g chopped walnuts 

100 g sugar (my mom was always using 50 g white sugar and 50 g cane sugar) 

50 g butter 

50 g flour 

1 egg almond flavouring 

0.5 tsp baking powder

Are you done preparing? Cool, same here. You should know, that preparing them will take you something around 30 – 40 minutes (20 minutes of boring waiting, i hope you prepared something to do in this time hahaha)

1. Cream the softened butter with the sugar. Add the egg and a few drops of almond essence – mix again. 
2. Add the flour and baking powder to the butter, then add the blended oats, sunflower seeds, and finely chopped walnuts. Mix thoroughly. 
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Form walnut-sized balls from the mixture, then gently flatten them with a teaspoon to form flat, round cookies. 
4. Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) and bake for 15-18 minutes, until the cookies are golden brown.
5. Now, my mum always told me to wait 3-5 minutes until eating them, so I recommend it to you too.

When they are done, you have two options: pack them for later and think about them all the time, or eat them one night, because they are that much addictive. Hope you will love them as much as I do!! 

As always, for those who count everything, here is a macro.
