How to Make Raisin Sunflower Seed Vanilla Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Place 1 cup of raisins in a bowl and pour boiling water over them. Let them soak for 10 minutes.
  3. While raisins soak, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in 1 cup roasted and caramelized sunflower seeds and ½ cup rolled oats.
  7. Drain the raisins well and gently fold them into the cookie dough.
  8. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
