These were pretty good, I made all the changes (sugars etc...) that everyone mentioned and I added dried cranberries. I'd make these again.

uh....it dunno tasted really bitter. I dont know what it is the sunflowers? it was very crispy and nutty. I was really worried when the batter seemed to crumble apart but at the same time it was SO oily from the butter. Probably wont make again- too fattening while not tasting that great.

I have done a similar recipe in the past, and would suggest adding honey or golden syrup for moistness and 1 egg to bind it all together.

The taste was good but the texture was too dry in the batter form to create little balls. I ended up adding 1/2 c. milk so there would be some binding. I also took the advice and did 1/2 the amount of baking soda and used 1/2brown and 1/2white sugar.

My friends ask me for the recipe when I serve this! Works wonderfully with silicone baking sheet. Great way to use up leftover sunflower seeds and coconut.

I stuck strictly to the recipe, and these were just ok for me. The consistency of the cookie was great, a nice crunch while still a little soft. Definitely will take the advice of others regarding the baking soda and substituting some brown sugar.

This was a very different type of cookie. Nutty and savory-sweet. I really liked it. I made a fwe changes due to the other comments. I used half of the baking soda, added a half cup more of coconut and sunflower seeds, 1/4 tsp of salt and also an egg (which hlped bind the batter better)

I agree that the baking soda was a little too much. They had a great flavor otherwise, but they were pretty crumbly. I used half white sugar and half brown sugar. I would probably make these again. :)

I found the baking soda a bit overmuch for me personally, imho. If I did the recipe again I would use a half or quarter teaspoon baking soda instead, with the sugar changed to brown sugar to balance the alkali/acid ratio.
