Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.

Thoroughly mix all ingredients except the sunflower seeds and the paprika. (Using your hands usually does a better job). On parchment or waxed paper, pat or roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle the sunflower seeds over the dough and press them into the dough.

Using a knife, cut the dough into one-inch wide strips; then cut them crosswise into one-inch squares. If desired, cut each of these into triangles.

Place the bites seed-side down onto the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle the tops with paprika. Bake about 12 minutes. Do not overcook.
