1/2 cup SunButter Natural
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

IMPORTANTSometimes, 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”.

1. Heat oven to 375°F.
2. In large bowl, cream butter and SunButter together until smooth. Add sugars and mix for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth and creamy. Add egg, beating until combined.
3. Stir in flour, cocoa powder baking soda, and baking powder until dough forms. Stir in chocolate chips until combined.
4. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll in additional sugar. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls about 2 inches apart.
5. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Immediately press 1 Kiss candy in center of each cookie.
6. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack.
