INGREDIENTS

Ground Raw Sunflower Seeds = 150 g / 1 1/4 cup

Notes:

1.  You can also use the same amount of almond flour or ground walnuts, pecans or hazelnuts.

2.  Refer to the tutorial video on how to grind the sunflower seeds.  

Baking Powder = 4 g / 1 tsp

Salt = 2 g / 1/2 tsp

Unsalted Butter (softened) = 85 g / 3/8 cup (For dairy free option, you can use coconut or olive oil)

Egg (room temperature) = 1 large (For eggless option, you can use 1 flax egg = 7 g / 1 tbsp flax meal + 45 ml / 3 tbsp water. Mix together in a bowl and set aside to thicken)

Monk fruit = 40 g / 3 tbsp (This is only mildly sweet so you can adjust accordingly. You can also use any other keto friendly sweetener.)

Vanilla Extract = 1 tsp (optional)

Lightly toasted seeds;

Black sesame seeds = 36 g / 1/4 cup

White sesame seeds = 36 g / 1/4 cup

Pumpkin seeds = 64 g / 1 cup

1.  For best results, weigh the ingredients with a digital scale.

2.  Preheat the oven at 350F or 180C.

3.  In a bowl, whisk the butter and sweetener until pale in color.

4.  Add the egg, vanilla extract and whisk to combine.

5.  Add the flour, baking powder, salt and mix with a spatula until a soft dough is formed.

6.  Add all the toasted seeds and mix until well combined.

7.  Use a 4 cm cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

8.  Lightly flatten the dough as they will not spread very much.

9.  Bake for about 20 to 25 mins or until very browned. The key to make the cookies crispy is to bake them until dark brown in color. The oven may look smoky but don't worry, they are not burnt. Let the cookies cool for about 5 minutes on the tray after baking then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will crisp up once cooled. If you find the cookies are not crispy enough, just pop back into the oven and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes or until crispy.

10.  Store the cookies in an airtight container for a few weeks at room temperature. They can also be refrigerated and frozen. They taste great straight out of the fridge and freezer.

11. You can also freeze the dough for later use. Just shape them into balls, chill in the fridge and once hardened, place into bags and freeze. When you want to bake them, let them defrost for a bit on the kitchen counter then bake accordingly.
