Sunshine Cookies
1 cup butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups crushed corn flakes
1 cup coconut
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup flax seed
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 325F.
Using your mixer, beat the butter, sugars and eggs. Add in the flour, baking powder and baking soda.
Mix in the remaining ingredients, mix well (at this point I was hand mixing).
Drop by tablespoon onto cookie sheets. Bake for 12 - 15 minutes (it was 12 minutes in my oven). Remove from oven, allow to cool a few minutes, transfer to wire rack.
VERDICT:
These are a totally different cookie for my house. Lots of seeds. My hubby's comment when I was reading the ingredient list to him was "that sounds like what I put in the bird feeder". Lots of seeds. I know, I said that already! They are a totally different texture that what I am used to - crunchy but not in an overbake / fried kind of way. Crunchy and soft, if that makes any sense at all? And addicting. I really like them. So do the kids. The hubby was scowling because I put chocolate chips in them (he now claims to hate chocolate chips). Little does he know that I made some without chocolate chips and hid them in his lunch kit for tomorrow :-)
