When you want to eat something savory, you can easily make these sunflower seed cookies!

Today I want to share my savory sunflower seed cookies.   After making so many sweet cookies and testing them, that’s what I need!  Some savory cookies!   Sunflower seeds give me all the salt I need.

They are melt-in-your-mouth cookies and very easy to make.

I start by mixing flour, salt and sugar in a medium bowl.  A little amount of sugar always gives a nice taste to savory cookies.

Later I cream the butter.  Then I add the egg and mix well.  Finally, I add in the flour mixture and mix until all totally combined.

After the dough is ready, I roll the dough into 25 grams balls.  Alternatively, you can divide the dough equally into 20 pieces and roll each into a ball as this recipe makes 20 cookies.  I flatten them with a measuring cup. That’s the method I use in my 4 Ingredient Easy Cookies recipe where you can see step by step pictures. The only exception in this recipe is that I don’t use a fork to give a shape after flattening them.

After you give shape, you have two options:

You can glaze them with an egg yolk.  I  already had egg yolk from my Flourless Hazelnut Cocoa Cookies  so I glazed some of my cookies with an egg yolk.  But if you don’t want to use egg yolk for some reason; you may need a whole egg for some other recipe,  you can glaze them with milk too.  I glazed some of my cookies with milk which also works well for gluing the sunflower seed.  When I glaze the cookies with egg wash, they look shinier than milk glazed cookies but both of them are tasty.

Finally, I bake them for 15 minutes.  After I take them from the oven, I keep them on the baking sheet for 15 minutes.

Enjoy your savory sunflower seed cookies!

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F(177C°). Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  • Combine flour, salt and sugar in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Place the butter in a large bowl and beat on medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes until it is soft with a hand-held mixer or with paddle attachment if using a stand-mixer. Add the egg and mix well. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with rubber spatula to be sure they are all mixed.
  • Add in the flour mixture and mix well until the dough comes together.
  • Take 25 gram pieces ( a little bit more than 1 tablespoon can take) of the dough and roll them into balls. Alternatively, you can divide the dough equally into 20 pieces and roll each into a ball as this recipe makes 20 cookies. Press the balls preferably with a flat-bottomed glass or a measuring cup to flatten them evenly or with the palm of your hand.
  • Glaze the cookies with milk or egg wash them by mixing 1 egg yolk with 1 teaspoon of water. Sprinkle the sunflower seeds on top of them.
  • Bake for 15 minutes until the edges change color. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for 15 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to completely cool.
