Crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, these Sunflower Seed Cookies have whole grains and sunflower seeds, so they are totally a health food and can be made for a fraction of the cost of store-bought.
I picked up a bag of sunflower seed cookies at the grocery store and immediately was obsessed. I had to get them out of the house, because I would have eaten the whole bag. The only thing that I did not like about these cookies was the price tag. Crazy expensive. I immediately ate these cookies and thought to myself, I can make these better and cheaper. And you know what? I did. These are even better than the cookies that I bought in the store.

So excited to try these. I just discovered Grace's Best recently, but I had the thought that some talented person had to have shared a similar recipe that might cost a little less $$$! Thanks for sharing this with us!

I am making them now and my dough seems a bit drier than yours looks. I followed your recipe exactly but did add dried cranberries. It didn't even stick to the mixing bowl. What should I add?

It is a pretty dry dough, but you probably threw the ratio off by adding cranberries.
