Healthy GF SunButter Cookies
Healthy GF SunButter cookies are super thin, soft, and chewy. These cookies are so incredibly good I am positive you will be pleasantly surprised when you take that first bite.

I like to make SunButter cookie sandwiches with allergy-friendly vanilla frosting and freeze them. They stay soft even when frozen. Vanilla frosting is the perfect blend with SunButter cookies.
To Make Healthy GF SunButter Cookies, You Will Need These Ingredients:
- SunButter
- Unsweetened applesauce
- Vanilla extract
- Sugar
- Gluten-free flour ~ I used King Arthur Measure for Measure. Regular flour is fine if GF is not needed.
- Salt
- Baking soda
- White Baking Chips ~ optional. I use Bakers Choice gluten and dairy-free. A delicious vegan mini chip.
Some brands of sunflower seed butter tend to vary in thickness/thinness and can be a bit oilier than others. I suggest doing a test cookie, for example; bake one cookie first and see if the cookie seems too thin. It is a thin cookie, but you can add 2 more tablespoons of flour to firm it up just a bit.
After the cookies have cooled, I like to set mine on paper towels to absorb some of the extra oils.
Another tasty sunflower seed butter cookie I highly recommend is SunButter cookies with dried blueberries. They are also chewy and so darn good with dried blueberries!!
I hope you enjoy the cookies!
