The kid in you will forget all about the healthiness of sunflower seeds and oatmeal; both of which are not shy about being showcased in these White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies with Candy Coated Sunflower Seeds recipe!
Preheat the oven to 350 and prepare a baking sheet by lining with a Silpat liner or with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use a handheld mixer to blend together the butter, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs and molasses. Beat until smooth.
Add the following ingredients in this order: flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and cornstarch. Use the handheld mixer, set to low speed, the mix together the dry ingredients slightly before beginning to blend the dry into the wet ingredients. Just mix until combined; don't over mix.
Stir in the white chocolate chips and 3/4 cup of the sunflower seeds.
Use a #20 cookie scoop, or portion the batter into 3 tablespoon mounds. Roll into balls and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake only 4 cookies per sheet. These cookies are big!
Gently flatten the ball of cookie batter to about 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle a few of the leftover sunflower seeds onto the top of each un-baked cookie.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
