A great protein packed, sweet treat for kiddos with peanut allergies!

These 3-ingredient cookies are made with sunflower seed butter!

3 ingredient sunbutter cookies

These treats are “sensitive” and could crumble easily, but not if you follow our directions closely!!!

Here’s what you need to know. It’s 1-1-1.

1 cup sugar, 1 cup sunflower seed butter, 1 egg.

Mix up into a dough and let sit in the fridge for at least 10 minutes.

Form into Tbsp size balls and place onto parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Using a fork, add criss cross pattern and flatten the dough ball.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 11 minutes.

No cheating here. No adding before the oven is fully preheated. And set that timer immediately!!!

Let cool on cooling rack for about 10 minutes.

Enjoy as warm and soft cookie, or store in baggie or airtight container for 1-2 days.
