sunflower seed cookies

Lyle's aunt sent us these cookies this summer, and I fell in love with them. They were perfect breakfast cookies, too!

1 c. butter
1/2 c. sugar
3/4 c. brown sugar
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/3 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
3 c. rolled oats
3/4 c. sunflower seeds
1/2 wheat germ

Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat eggs and vanilla. Sift flour, salt, and soda and stir into creamed mixture. Fold in oats, sunflower seeds, and wheat germ. Place teaspoonfuls of dough on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 10 to 12 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool on rack.

I didn't have wheat germ on hand when I made these yesterday, so I just used wheat flour for all of the flour. It turned out fine, but it may have lost some of its earthy taste. (By the way, the cookie dough is the best!)
