Healthy Sesame Coconut Cookies image

A low sugar, subtle little cookie with added health benefits: sesame, coconut, sunflower seeds and oats make this treat good for you! The recipe for this cookie developed from an idea for coconut halvah which became a need for a tea time treat. Now it's a favourite. The preparation time does not include chilling times.
