Sunflower Seed Butter Cookies (Link/Replacements)

Taken from Food.com's Egg-Free Peanut Butter cookie recipe, the only replacement is sunflower seed butter for the peanut butter. This recipe is easy, fast and delicious. My 9 year old helped me bake and test this batch and it's been met with great approval. Note, this would be a great dough for a coconut milk homemade cookie dough ice cream recipe. Will try this when time allows and post it.

For ease, I'll copy it with the replacement here, too, and any small adjustments I made during our trial:

Sunflower Seed Butter Cookies

• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup sunflower seed butter
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Directions:

Prep Time: 5 mins

Total Time: 15 mins

1. Mix together sunflower seed butter, sugars, vanilla and butter until well blended.
2. Add all the rest of the ingredients, and beat well until totally combined.
3. Form dough into balls about 1/4-1/2 inch in size, and place on ungreased cookie sheet, mark top of balls with fork.
4. Bake in 375 degree oven for 7-9 min.
5. Remove from oven and let stand on sheet for 1-2 minutes, then transfer to wire rack, cool completely.
6. Store in air tight container.

Mange!

Sunflower Seed Butter Fudge (Link w/Replacements)

Yep, here it is, that fudge I mentioned earlier. Fudge is a favorite around here and this one will please both sulfur-sensitive and non-sulfur sensitive.

This recipe is a direct lift from an All Recipes Peanut Butter Fudge recipe and revised to be low sulfur.

Recipe Revision:

1/2 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 cup sunflower seed butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups confectioners' sugar

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and coconut milk. Bring to a hard boil, then boil for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Stir in sunflower seed butter and vanilla. Pour over confectioners' sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat until smooth; pour into an 8x8 inch dish. Chill until firm and cut into squares.

Melty yummy, soft, terrific stuff.

Cheers!
