- Ingredients:
- 19
- Yields:
-
60 cookies
ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 3⁄4 cup white sugar
- 3⁄4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup white flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄3 cup wheat bran
- 1⁄2 cup coconut
- 1 cup oatmeal
- 1 cup Rice Krispies
- 1⁄2 cup raisins
- 1⁄2 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 3⁄4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1⁄3 cup sesame seeds
- 1⁄3 cup flax seed
directions
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars. Add vanilla and eggs and mix well.
- Blend in flours and baking powder and soda.
- Mix in all remaining ingredients.
- Roll cookie dough into 1" balls and place on non-stick or parchment-covered cookie sheets. Flatten each with a fork.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 14 minutes, depending on your "doneness" preference. I cooked mine for 12 minutes with my oven rack slightly above centre and they turned out perfectly golden brown!
- Suggested substitutions: Finely chopped nuts for the flax seeds. Any chopped dried fruit for either the raisins or the cranberries, or both. The sunflower and sesame seeds would give a slightly different flavour if lightly roasted first, rather than raw. Wheat germ can be substituted for the wheat bran.

<br>I live in western Canada, in beautiful Victoria, BC. I'm not a chef; hardly a cook, for that matter, but I like to look for recipes and new ideas for comfort foods. My favorite cookbook is any that has ingredients I can pronounce and recognize and that I would usually have in my cupboard or fridge, as I tend to cook/bake on a whim!
