Mock Peanut Butter Cookies (aka Sunflower Butter Cookies)

If you know anything about me,

you know I love peanut butter cookies!

My mom would make them from time to time

and suprise me with my very own tin of cookies :)

Yes, I'm 50 years old and my mom still bakes me cookies....so what? :)

Since pretty much every ingredient in regular peanut butter cookies

is on my "poison" list these days,

I've been wanting to find a replacement.

So today, the Mock PB Cookie was born!

Mock Peanut Butter Cookies (Revised 3/2/12)

G/F, Casein Free, Corn Free, Sugar Free

1/2 cup homemade Sunflower Seed Butter (find recipe here)

1 cup Coconut Crystals (sugar alternative)

2 free range eggs

1/2 tsp g/f pure vanilla

1/4 cup Coconut flour (sifted)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix together sunflower seed butter, coconut crystals, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in sifted coconut flour.

I use the back of a spoon and sift it directly into the bowl.

The batter will be runny but it will thicken a bit after a few minutes.

I bought this "whoopie pie" pan at Michaels with my 50% off coupon.

It's made by Wilton and works great for lots of g/f cookies.

It gives them a nice uniform shape.

Use the backside of a slightly wet spoon to shape the cookies into nice flat rounds.

Bake for 15 minutes. Makes 1 dozen.

Cool on wire rack. 

Try not to eat them all in one sitting :)
