The luxuriant taste of sunseeds in these cookies will make you forget that peanut butter cookies ever existed! (Well, temporarily...) **Please note, I have put peanut butter in the ingredients list because the fat & overall calories will be more accurate, for those who need to know nutrition facts ;) These are so healthy and simple. It's a recipe I modified from one of Dreena Burton's in "Vive le Vegan." Hope you enjoy!

Time 27m

Yield 20 med. cookies, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, unbleached (or light spelt flour, which I love!)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3-1/2 cup natural-style peanut butter (available in the natural foods section of supermarkets, or at specialty health-food stores) or 1/3-1/2 cup sunflower seed butter (available in the natural foods section of supermarkets, or at specialty health-food stores)
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 -3 tablespoons canola oil
2 -3 tablespoons water, as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Sift together the ingredients from flour through salt.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the sunflower seed butter and all other ingredients, and whisk well. Add to the dry ingredients, and stir 'em up.
  • Spoon the batter in roughly circular blobs (heehee) onto a baking pan lined with parchment paper. (They flatten quite a bit!) Mark them with a fork that's been dipped in icewater after each cookie.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, just till nice and golden on the bottom.
  • After they rest on the sheet for a couple minutes, remove to a cooling rack. But they're good warm or cold ;).
  • Finally: these would be AMAZING with semi-sweet chocolate chips or dried cherries. Let me know if you try that!

Tips:

  • Choose the right sunflower seed butter. Not all sunflower seed butters are created equal. Look for a brand that is made with 100% sunflower seeds and no added sugar or salt.
  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher your ingredients, the better your cookies will taste. This is especially true for the sunflower seed butter. If your sunflower seed butter is old, it will have a rancid taste that will ruin your cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make your cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature. The temperature of your oven will affect the texture of your cookies. If you bake the cookies at too low a temperature, they will be soft and chewy. If you bake them at too high a temperature, they will be hard and crispy.

Conclusion:

Sunflower seed butter cookies are a delicious and healthy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and only require a few simple ingredients. You can also add other ingredients to your cookies, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit. These cookies are perfect for school lunches, after-school snacks, or a quick and easy dessert.
