I recently bought "Två Systrars Söta", a cookbook by Lisa and Monica Eisenmann who are the owners of The Cookbook Café. The first recipe to be tried from the book - Sunflower Cookies. I actually had one of these when I was last in the café for lunch, and wow, it was delicious. So, I knew I was in for a special treat when I made them myself.
The sisters write in the recipe that you should make a triple batch, because no one can stop eating these. True - oh, so true.
Sunflower Cookies
200 g butter
230 g sugar
4 tbsp golden syrup
160 g flour
110 g wholewheat flour
1 ts baking powder
2 tbsp vanilla sugar
90 g sunflower seeds + 2 tbsp
Preheat the oven to 175°C. Beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. (Keep the butter cold and in small pieces if you use a Kitchen-Aid or similar, or let the butter become soft if you beat by hand.) Add the syrup, and stir. Mix in all the dry ingredients, except for the two extra tablespoons of sunflower seeds.
Shape into flattened logs on lined baking sheets, and sprinkle with the reserved seeds. Bake for 15 minutes. While still warm, cut into large cookies on a diagonal. Transfer to a rack, and let them cool completely.

I love these, they taste wonderful. My photo were not as terrific as yours though :-)
Like Peggy, I don't see many cookie recipes with sunflower seeds (unless it's just something you add into your oatmeal cookies).
They look excellent.
What an interesting recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Dagmar - just think of all the great pics you're going to take in your new kitchen.. The light looks fabulous there!
Peggy and Cybele - that *is* pretty interesting about this cookie! It's nutty - but sans the nuts, and safe for allergics.
Hi, Fredrik my "sambo" just made the vanilla ice-cream from the book. I just wanted you to know it is fantastic, more cream than ice.
Take care!
