No Sugar Added Sunflower Butter Cookies Recipes

NO SUGAR ADDED SUNFLOWER-BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• In mixing bowl beat butter & sunflower-butter on med to high for 30 seconds.
• Add 1/2 cup of flower, egg, splenda, baking powder & soda and vanilla.
• Beat until thoroughly combined.
• Beat in remaining flour.
• Cover & chill dough so it is easier to handle. (About 20 minutes)
• Shape into 1 inch balls & place on ungreased cookie sheet at least 2 inches apart from each other.
• flatten by crisscrosing with the tines of a fork.
• Sprinkle the coco over each flattened cookie.
• Bake in a 375 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes. (NOTE: splenda does not allow cookies to brown. Test to see if they are done by lightly feeling the middle of a cookie. If it still feels like raw cookie dough they are not done.)
• Cool on a wire rack.
• The great thing about these cookies is that once they cool, they turn a bright mossy green inside! This is great for your spooky Halloween party! (I call them swamp cookies for the party).

CHEWY SUNFLOWER BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Combine shortening, sunflower seed butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and airy. Add eggs one at a time and continue beating on medium speed until very light.
• Sift flour, baking soda, ground ginger, and salt into a separate bowl. Mix well. Stir in candied ginger, chocolate, and sunflower seeds.
• Gradually add flour mixture to the creamed shortening mixture, stirring gently until combined. Do not overmix. Drop teaspoonfuls of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cookies appear set, 8 to 10 minutes. Do not wait for the edges to brown. Cool on the cookie sheets for 2 to 5 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
