These may look like peanut butter cookies, but they’re made without nuts! How’d we do it? We used sunflower seed spread instead of peanut butter to make the cookies. For added flavor and crunch we stirred some sunflower seeds into the cookie dough. Oh, and did I mention that they’re gluten free and made without dairy? They’re a great treat for the holidays or any day. We think you’ll love them!
Gluten-Free Sunflower Seed Cookies
Ingredients
1 cup creamy sunflower seed spread (we used SunButter)
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla
1/2 cup gluten-free dry-roasted salted sunflower seeds
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
Directions
Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix sunflower seed spread, sugar, egg and vanilla until well combined. Stir in sunflower seeds. Roll into 1 1/4-inch balls; place about 1-inch apart on prepared cookie sheets. Flatten in crisscross pattern with fork. Sprinkle salt on tops of cookies.
Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until golden around edges. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.
