Sunflower Threes Recipe

  • 3/4 cup vegetable shortening
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/3 cup finely diced dried pineapple
  • 1/3 cup pineapple juice
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Beat shortening, maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until combined. Stir oats, whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sunflower seeds, golden raisins, dried pineapple, pineapple juice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the shortening mixture to make a sticky dough.
  3. Pinch off about 1 1/2 tablespoon of dough per cookie and roll into balls about 1 1/4 inch across; arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes.
