Classic SunButter Cookie

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup SunButter® Crunch
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder*
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda*
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

*NOTE: We’ve reduced the baking soda and baking powder for this recipe by 50% because the chlorophyll in sunflower seeds may react with the baking soda and cause these cookies to turn green. This is completely harmless and does not effect taste.

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • In large mixing bowl with electric mixer, cream butter, SunButter and sugars together until smooth and fluffy; beat in eggs; set aside.
  • In medium bowl, sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir into creamed SunButter mixture. Place dough in refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Remove dough from refrigerator and roll into 1-inch balls and put on parchment lined baking sheets. Flatten each ball with a fork, making a crisscross pattern.
  • Bake for about 10 minutes or until cookies begin to brown.
  • When cookies are completely cooled, store in airtight container at room temperature.
