Chocolate Raisin Sunflower Seed Oatmeal Cookies


I really like oatmeal cookies, and I finally found a favorite.  These Triple Berry Oatmeal Cookies start with my favorite oatmeal cookie base ever, so I made the same cookies, but just switched out the add ins.  I added chocolate covered raisins and sunflower seeds, and wow did they go incredibly well together.  The chocolate covered raisins were a perfect balance of chocolate and raisins, and the sunflower seeds brought a deliciously nutty flavor to the the entire cookie.  Since the seeds are so small, you got some in every bite!  Absolutely delicious.

Chocolate Covered Raisin and Sunflower Seed Oatmeal Cookies

1 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups quick oats
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups chocolate covered raisins
1 cup shelled sunflower seeds

Preheat the oven to 350F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.  Beat in the eggs, honey, and vanilla until well blended.  Add the quick oats, flour, baking soda, and salt, and beat until just combined.  Stir in the chocolate covered raisins and sunflower seeds until evenly distributed.

Using a cookie scoop, scoop the dough and drop about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheet.  Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are browned on the edges and just set in the center.  Let cookies cool on the pan for 3 to 4 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.  Makes 2 1/2 dozen cookies.

Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
