Serves: 12 cookies

Ingredients

• PALEO VERSION:
• 1 c. sunflower seed butter
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• ¼ t. sea salt
• 1 t. baking soda
• 4 T. maple syrup
• 1 t. vanilla extract
• 16 drops liquid stevia
• VEGAN/PALEO VERSION:
• same as above except use 4 T. applesauce instead of the egg
• VEGAN VERSION:
• same as above except use a chickpea ‘egg’, which is 4 T. chickpea flour mixed with 4 T. water in a bowl and set aside for just a couple of minutes

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a bowl, mix all ingredients (sunflower seed butter, maple syrup, stevia, vanilla, salt, baking soda, and egg or egg replacer) until everything is smooth and well combined.
3. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
4. Drop tablespoonfuls of batter onto the sheet (I got about 12 good-sized cookies).
5. Bake 11-12 minutes until lightly browned.
6. Remove, and allow the cookies to sit on the cookie sheet to cool for 5-10 minutes.
