We were at a family wedding a few weeks ago in Hayward, WI. My favorite candy store of all time is in that town it’s call Tremblay’s Sweet Shop. Its a must stop every time I am in the area. This time some very bright chocolate covered sunflower seeds caught my eye. I got a scoop of them and have been thinking about what to make since then. I finally decided to just go with a simple cookie. Because who doesn’t love a simple cookie.
These cookies are excellent, they have great batter as it is then had a nice salty sweet crunchy yummy in them and you have perfection. I have had trouble keeping my hands off these since making them

I just went on a hunt for chocolate covered sunflower seeds the other day and couldn’t find any!
The cookies look delicious and I’ll definitely be trying them when I actually find my sunflower seeds.
