Sunsational Cookies

Start to Finish: 30 Minutes

Servings: 24 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”.
