Ingredients:

• 2 cup sunflower seeds
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Recipe :

• Step 1 Prepare the dry and wet ingredients

  To prepare this cookie recipe, take a bowl and whisk sugar, shortening, vanilla extract and 1 1/2 tablespoon of butter and keep it aside. In another bowel, sieve flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together.

  Now, transfer the flour mixture to the sugar bowl and mix well. Once the ingredients combine, add sunflower seeds to it. Add water and mix until you get a smooth dough.

• Step 3 Cut out and bake the sunflower cookies

  Now roll out the dough and cut into cookies of your preferred shapes. Then grease the cookie tray with the remaining butter and place the cookies at a little distance from each other. Bake in the oven at 170-degree Celsius for around 15 minutes.

• Step 4 Serve with chocolate sauce

  Your Sunflower Cookies are ready. Serve with chocolate sauce and enjoy with your friends and family.

Tips :

• You can also use toasted and salted sunflower kernels for a nice balance of flavours.

• You can make these cookies in a large batch and save up for later in an airtight container.

• Feel free to coat the cookies with finely granulated sugar if you like.

• If you prefer salty cookies or just want a healthier version of these cookies, you can also reduce the amount of sugar to 2 tbsp.
