Ingredients

  • 1 cup + 4 Tbsp unsalted butter room temperature, divided
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 2 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup unsweetened sunflower seed butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Sprinkles optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoon of butter. When it’s melted, pour in oats and stir for about 5-7 minutes, until browned and toasted. Pour oats into an even layer on the parchment paper. Set aside to cool.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a mixer with paddle attachment or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, combine remaining 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat until mixture is light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes.
  • Mix in eggs one at a time. Add sunflower seed butter and vanilla and continue mixing until well-combined.
  • Add flour mixture to beat and mix until just combined, taking care not to over-mix.
  • Fold oats into the batter.
  • Scoop about 3 tablespoon cookie dough (I use a #20 cookie scoop) onto prepared cookie sheets, about an inch apart. Top cookie dough with sprinkles, if desired.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes, until cookies are just turning golden around edges. Let cool in pan for a couple minutes before moving to wire racks to cool completely.
