Makes about 2 dozen

Chewy oats, rich coconut and crunchy sunflower seeds are an enticing combination in these cookies — a worthy treat for the lunch box or with afternoon tea. If you prefer, you can use quick-cooking oats in place of the rolled oats for a finer-textured cookie.

- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup grated unsweetened coconut
- 1/2 cup sunflower seeds

Method
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Put butter and sugar into a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until fluffy.
Add egg, vanilla and salt and beat again just until combined.
Stir in coconut and sunflower seeds.
In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour and baking powder, then add to butter mixture, stirring until thoroughly combined.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake until lightly browned and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes, then set aside to let cool. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
