The recipe:

3/4 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup peanuts (chopped)

1. Mix together whole wheat flour, wheat germ, dry milk powder, baking soda, and set aside.

2. Cream butter and brown sugar together until light & fluffy; mix in egg and vanilla. Stir in dry ingredients.

3. Drop by rounded teaspoons on baking sheets. Bake in preheated oven at 350F for 10-12 minutes.

The verdict: I LOVE the combination of sunflower seeds, raisins, and peanuts. The cookies are nice and chewy. Even my best friend’s daughter loved them!
