Sunflower Seed Cookies

2 cups sugar

1 ½ cups margarine

1 tsp vanilla

1 egg, beaten

1 cup coconut

2 ¾ cups flour

1 tsp. Baking powder

1 cup sunflower seeds, shelled and salted

Cream together sugar and margarine.  Add vanilla and egg.  Add coconut and all remaining ingredients.  Make the dough into 3 small loaves, wrap in wax paper and freeze.  When you are ready to cook them, just slice and bake on a greased cookie sheet for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees.

This recipe was given to Frank by a gentleman he worked with at Keesler Air Force base, J. A. Mumm.  It has been one of my favorite recipes ever since that time.
