although these cookies had a nice buttery taste, i only gave them 2 stars because they turned out more like a praline cookies then an oatmeal cookie. i will go back to my tried and true oatmeal cookies recipe and add the sunflower seeds to it.

I make this recipe for my elderly parents and mail it to them. The cookies pack and mail well, are crispy and buttery but not too sweet, and a great hit with all.

Interesting flavor combination, although I omitted the coconut...I'll make these again, but they're so different, I can't see myself doing them on a regular basis...A fascinating experience!

I used chocolate covered sunflower seeds (Trader Joe's). I also added natural peanut butter and chopped apples. They were fantastic!!

These are good cookies. I added chocolate chips to mine. I also had to bake them about 3-4 min extra. They do spread too.

I brought these cookies to work and everyone raved! People liked the cookie because it was slightly different. The only ingredient that I omitted was the coconut. I also added chocolate chips.

This was a great recipe. I one and a half cup of brown sugar (no white sugar), and substituted 1 cup of whole wheat flour for a cup of the all purpose flour. It turned out so soft and chewy in the middle and nice and crisp on the outside. Will definitely make again, this time with no while flour.

This is the best oatmeal cookie recipe I have found yet. My family loves it! Also, great for camping as they are really hearty cookies. I also skip the coconut but I add chocolate chips. Yum!

YUM!!! I made this yesterday to give as a gift...my family ate most of them last night, so I am off to the store to buy more ingredients to make another batch!. (I ommitted the coconut, but added a cup of chocolate chips.)

There was a very serious issue with this cookie that you failed to mention in your recipe, Brett... ...they are dangerously addictive!! =) I only changed the recipe slightly: I was about 1/4 c. short on sunflower seeds, chose to omit the coconut, and added a bag of chocolate chips. I also took SEBSRB's advice and made cookie bars in a foil-covered jellyroll pan using(which worked beautifully!). This one is definitely a keeper. A wonderfully versatile cookie that would be great with raisins, dried cranberry, walnuts... the possibilities are endless! The only thing I would do differently next time is make a double batch - my family managed to polish them off in ONE NIGHT. Thanks so much for these... they are perfect!

A great cookie. I did a pan cookie in a jelly roll pan, then cut into squares. I mixed the flour, baking powder, soda, sunflower seeds and oatmeal together before adding to the butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla. A real keeper for my family.

These are very tasty! They have a nice nutty flavor and add a change from your typical oatmeal or PB cookie.

These were okay, but it could be b/c I used lowfat butter and Splenda in them. I might try again but I will try it with the real stuff.

Yum...I love sunflower seeds and oatmeal cookies and this is a great mixture of both...I went a bit further I added mini chocolate chips and turned them into a bar cookie...it is a great easy way to get a great cookie and takes less time...Baked approx 20 minutes...depends on your oven. Baked the bar cookie on a extra large professional bakers sheet and covered with aluminum foil, inverted when cool..and peeled off the alumimun foil...lots of bars..THANKS!

These are great! 4 stars because they are a little on the dry side. I feel like they could use some olive oil, more butter, or something? I added 1 cup raisins & 1 cup very finely chopped sunflower seeds. I used Amish vanilla extract, which gives it a nice rich flavor. My children love these and I don't feel as guilty about the sugar and fat when the "healthy" ingredients far outway the "unhealthy". Sunflower seeds and whole oats are so beneficial to our health, and I think most parents would find it hard to get their child to eat a handful of sunflower seeds alone! Great recipe. Will make again, next time adding some extra virgin olive oil.

YuuuuuuuuuMMMMM!
