Walnut with Sunflower Seed Cookies

I have not been doing any baking recently as I was busy attending workshops. Today, I was quite free so thought of baking something. After a check on my kitchen cabinet for available ingredients, I decided to bake walnut cookies and cake.

The recipe was from Richard Goh, this is one of my favourite recipe from his class. The cookies were not very sweet and every bites come with crunchy walnut & sunflower seed, very nutty and fragrant.
