Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 75 grams light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 piece large egg
- 175 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams raisins
- 50 grams sunflower seeds
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and egg to the creamed mixture. Beat until fully combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the raisins and sunflower seeds using a spatula to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
Step 7
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon to form discs.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
Step 10
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Serve the cookies once cooled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
