Well, I had some fun this week in the kitchen. I was going through some old recipes I had saved over the years; I had so many different chocolate chip recipes and oatmeal raisin ones that I decided to marry the two.
I adjusted the liquid portions to dry according to the added oats. Many of the recipes were similar, but a few had extra ingredients that put them over the top. After going through my baking pantry to see what I had on hand, this is what I came up with.
Sunscapes Chocolate Delight
Cream together:
1 cup of butter
1 cup of white sugar
1 cup of brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla

Sift together:
2 3/4 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
Coarsely chop: (in a food processor)
1 1/2 cups of oatmeal
1 cup of walnuts
1 cup of sunflower seeds (if salted, omit the 1/2 tsp. of salt)
Coarsely Chop: (by hand)
6 ounces of Chocolate Almond Bark
6 ounces of White Almond Bark
1 cup of Hershey's chocolate chips
- Add the chopped ingredients with the sifted flour. Mix well and then add the wet ingredients to make the dough.
- Scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined cookie tray 2 - 3 " apart.
- Bake 12 - 15 minutes in a 375°F. oven until golden but not over-baked.
- Transfer to cooling rack.
These came out so light and airy with a nice sweet-salty ratio. The finely chopped oats and sunflower seeds really took this cookie to a new level.
I now have a new all-time favorite cookie and will add it to next year's cookie giveaway trays. These are absolutely divine! Perhaps you will give my cookie recipe a try and see for yourself.
Until next time, this is Sunscape
Sun. Scape. Ing Your Day
Man, those sound good! But when one is on a keto diet....sigh...
I get it! I need to get back on track with my Keto diet too. I really went off the rails during the holidays and really feel it.
I sorta did, to the tune of 5 lbs….sigh…
Nuts, sunflower seeds and chocolate, a winning cookie recipe for sure @sunscape!
We're experiencing a heatwave at the moment, so no baking! The house already feels like an oven, so I've spent most of the day in my bedroom, the only room with aircon!
I will for sure bake these, they must be so delicious 😋
Wow, you're in a heatwave and I'm in deep freeze with lots of snow on the way. The cookies really came out nice to my surprise with mixing up different recipes. Stay cool and may your weather improve. ;-)
Wow! So many cookies! I will have to raid your kitchen soon!
Yummy cookies.
I think you already do @kaminchan as my cookie jar gets emptied very quickly. You must be that night raider I hear sometimes lifting the lid off the jar. lol
Great looking cookies //
Thanks, Mike, what's his name likes them a bit too much for his own good. lol Happy New Year to you both and all the kitties too. ♥
A tray of absolute deliciousness I see. Can I come have a bite?
