Honey-Oat Cookies with Chocolate Coated Sunflower Seeds

1/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
1 egg, 1 egg white
1 cup plus 1/3 cup flour
2 cups oats
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 heaping cup chocolate covered sunflower seeds

I first found the sunflower seeds at the Del Mar fair in California but check your local bulk store or they can be purchased on Amazon.

I'm sure you can sub in regular sunflower seeds or any nut you choose but these little candies are (mostly) guilt free and very fun.

1.Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, combine butter and sugar until smooth. Add honey and eggs and beat well.

2.In another small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and oats together. Add to the wet mixture and stir gently to combine. Add in candy coated sunflower seeds.

3.Drop by teaspoonfuls (I just just small scoops from a regular spoon) onto greased cookie sheets. Bake for 7 minutes until golden around the edges and still slightly raw in the center.

4.Remove from oven and let set for a few minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before packaging.

Serving Size: Makes almost 4 dozen two-inch cookies
