Sunsational Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup margarine
  • 1/2 cup SunButter® (any variety)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda*
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder*
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar (for dipping)
  • 3/4 cup sunflower kernels

 

*Sometimes, but not always, the natural chlorophyll contained in sunflower seeds reacts with baking soda and baking powder in the recipe, causing a green color inside the cookies after they cool. This is completely harmless! Depending on the recipe you can reduce baking soda/powder by about one third or a splash of lemon juice may help prevent any “greening”.

Directions

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat liner; set aside.
  • In large bowl, cream margarine, SunButter, brown sugar and corn syrup until light and fluffy. Add egg, mix well.
  • In medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, stirring to combine. Gradually add to creamed SunButter mixture.
  • In small dish or shallow bowl place sugar. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and dip tops in sugar; flatten with glass on cookie sheet and sprinkle with sunflower seed kernels.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool on pan slightly before removing to wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store cookies in airtight container
