Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and honey until fluffy and light in color, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add large egg, smooth peanut butter, and pure vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Mix until well combined and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
- In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring gently. Fold in chopped walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.
- Gently fold in dried cranberries (or dried apricots) and dark chocolate chips.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F while the dough is chilling. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop 1.5-ounce portions and roll them into balls. Flatten each ball slightly and place them on the lined baking sheets.
- Bake your cookies for 11-13 minutes, until edges are golden brown and centers are slightly gooey.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
Refrigerating the dough enhances texture, ensuring thick and chewy cookies. Don't overmix after adding flour, and store in an airtight container for freshness.
