Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sunflower seed butter Unsweetened
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 5 tbsp milk I use soy but any milk works.
  • ¾ cup plain flour
  • ½ cup chocolate chips plus extra to press on top (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a tray with parchment paper.
  • Stir together sunflower seed butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and plant-based milk until smooth.
  • Add baking soda, salt, and flour. Mix to form a soft dough.
  • Fold in chocolate chips if using.
  • Roll dough into balls (about 1.5 tbsp each) and place on the tray. Flatten slightly with your palm.
  • Press a few extra chocolate chips onto the top of each cookie.
  • Bake 9–11 minutes until edges are set and centres look slightly soft.
  • Let them cool on the tray for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack.

Notes

If the centres turn slightly green once cooled, that’s normal with sunflower butter and safe to eat and it doesn’t affect the taste.
You can use store-bought or try my super easy Homemade Sunflower Seed Butter. It's budget friendly, you just need a food processor or blender.
