I had similar cookies from a bake sale and they were delicious. This is an approximate replication - might work with only 2 sticks of butter - they are very buttery!

HEALTHY SESAME COCONUT COOKIES

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.
