Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup chocolate covered sunflower seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well, then stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, and chocolate covered sunflower seeds.
- Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten the dough balls slightly with your fingers or a spoon.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are golden and centers are set.
- Let cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Chilling the dough is optional but helps reduce spreading.
- For best texture, use rolled oats instead of quick oats.
- Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for a flavor boost.
