Amazing SunButter cookies. Delicious gluten free dessert.

what you need to make these sunbutter cookies

I baked these SunButter cookies for a delicious alternative to peanut butter cookies. These nut free cookies are simple to make and require just a few ingredients. I whipped up this batch in 10 minutes! 

I like to make my cookie dough the night before and then freeze it until I’m ready to bake. Freezing the dough before hand isn’t a requirement but if you are looking for the most delicious healthy cookie recipe then don’t skip this step.

So now that we got that out of the way, here’s what you need…

  • SunButter, natural 
  • vegan butter, room temperature (or room temperature coconut oil)
  • flax meal and water (flax egg)
  • gluten free baking flour 
  • coconut sugar (or granulated sweetener of choice)
  • baking soda
  • vanilla
  • salt
  • chocolate chips (I used Lily’s sugar free and vegan chocolate chips)

Substitutions

Here’s what you can substitute in the ingredient list and still get the perfect nut free cookie.

For the coconut sugar you can substitute any granulated sugar such as brown sugar or maple sugar (maple sugar is amazing BTW!).

For the SunButter you can substitute any natural nut butter (I personally love almond butter and cashew butter) but if you are looking for an allergy free cookie, stick with Sunbutter.

For the vegan butter, you can substitute it for room temperature coconut oil.

can’t get enough gluten free desserts?

Servings: 16
Author: Ciarra Siller

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp ground flax
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 1/2 cup SunButter natural
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter room temperature
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup gluten free all purpose baking flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Stir together the flax meal and water and then set it aside to gel for 5 minutes. In another bowl, beat the Sunbutter, vegan butter, coconut sugar and vanilla together until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute using a hand held mixer. Beat in the flax mix until combined.
  • In another bowl, stir together the gluten free flour, baking soda, salt and chocolate chips. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until no dry spots remain. Use a 1 1/2 inch cookie scooper to scoop 16 evenly sized cookie dough balls onto a baking sheet. Cover the dough and chill in the freezer for at least an hour or preferably overnight. *This isn't required but for a tastier cookie, don't skip this.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the cookie dough from the freezer and place the cookie dough balls about 1 1/2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Bake them for 12-14 minutes and the edges begin to brown. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to continue cooling for 15 minutes.
