Instructions
1 In a large mixing bowl combine flour, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir together with a whisk. 2 Using the bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed cream together butter and both sugars until smooth using the paddle attachment. Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl as needed throughout rest of recipe. 3 Add sunflower butter and mix again. 4 Add eggs one at a time with vanilla and mix until incorporated. 5 Slowly spoon in oat and flour mixture into the sunflower butter mixture. Mix with paddle attachment on medium low to form a cookie dough. 6 Once all ingredients are combined, remove bowl from stand. 7 In a separate medium bowl stir together sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, dried cherries, and chocolate chips. 8 Slowly pour seed mixture into cookie dough and mix with a wooden spoon. 9 Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in fridge to chill for 30 minutes. 10 Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Preheat Oven to 350 F (176 C). 11 Scoop cookie dough into 3 TBSP balls and place two inches apart on cookie sheet. Flatten slightly with hands. Cookies will spread in the oven, but since they are large I just press the dome down ever so slightly. You can scoop dough with a 2 Tbsp Ice Cream scoop if desired. 12 Bake on middle rack of the oven for 16-18 minutes or until edges begin to brown slightly. 13 Slide parchment paper or silicone mat off pan to a cooling rack for cookies to cool completely. 14 Store unused cookie dough in the fridge.View original recipe
