My little sis loves her some chocolate-covered sunflower seeds. So, when I came across this recipe on Peabody’s blog, I just knew I had to make them for her… she loved them, by the way.

2 eggs, at room temperature

Add flour mixture to butter mixture and mix on low until fully incorporated. Stir in chocolate covered sunflower seeds. Form into 1-inch balls and place on a ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-9 minutes. Let cool for 2 minutes on pan and then move to wire rack. Makes about 38 cookies.
