This quick and easy SunButter Cookies is nut free, dairy free, protein-packed and requires only 5 ingredients. 

Have you guys had a chance to try SunButter?

What’s really neat about this product, it has 7 grams of protein per serving and it’s vegan! Having that amount of protein while eating a cookie always makes me smile. Who wouldn’t? I guess it would also make you smile, too!

I gave my husband a cookie to try and he loved it. Once I told him SunButter’s main ingredient was sunflower seeds, he was surprised because he couldn’t really taste it.

As a vegan, it’s always pleasant to know that I can incorporate vitamins and minerals in everything that I bake. In this recipe, sunflower seeds are highlighted and I can name a few health benefits that you wouldn’t think is present in such a tiny flower seed. Sunflower seeds have a high content of fatty acids, vitamins A, B, C & E. This seed also has wonderful minerals such as manganese, potassium, calcium, zinc, magnesium, selenium and iron. Are not all these healthy contents awesome?!?

If you are not still convinced by these vitamins and minerals I have mentioned above, read on!

Here are more reasons to try SunButter:

• Natural, simple, delicious.
• If you like sunflower seeds, you’ll love SunButter.
• You’ll love what’s in it, and what’s not.
• More vitamins and minerals than nut butter.
• Peanut free. Top 8 food allergen free.

How to Make SunButter Cookies:

After you have preheated your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, it’s time to mix the ingredients. First, incorporate the brown sugar and the SunButter in a mixing bowl:

Mix the two ingredients until it looks like this:

Then add in the almond milk or whatever alternative milk that you would like to use in this recipe:

After mixing thoroughly it should resemble the picture below. Feel free to use a hand mixer, but as for me, I had a fork out and didn’t want to grab my mixer because I didn’t want any extra dishes to do:

Add all-purpose flour, mix it thoroughly until you almost don’t see any lumps. This helps you achieve a nice cookie dough without those flour lumps after it is baked:

How do you put your cookie dough on your baking mats? For me, I always use a mini ice cream scoop. Not only does it give you uniform-sized cookies, but it is also the easiest and fastest way to do it:

After having placed all your cookie dough in a baking mat, I have an additional step that I want to teach you. Use a fork to flatten your cookies before putting it in the oven:

I like to flatten it like this. You can see how it has like a criss-cross design to it. Not only does it make your cookies prettier, but this step also helps your cookies bake evenly:

Now, here are your SunButter cookies! All good to go in your favorite cookie jar or directly on a plate, ready to be devoured 🙂
